摘要
The magnetic phase transition in nickel metal has been studied with high resolution photoemission spectroscopy. A monochromatized high intensity He 1 alpha photon source provides access to the dispersion of thermally populated states up to Sk(B)T above the Fermi level. On Ni(lll) the coalescence of the partially occupied minority d band and the occupied majority d band is observed in raising the temperature above the Curie point. Close to a fast dispersing sp band anomalously high intensity from the minority d band is found. This is a clue that sp-d fluctuations at the Fermi level are a driving force in the magnetic phase transition.
