The adsorbate systems O ( 2 x l ) and S c(2x2) on Ni(ll0) were investigated by means of spin-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. For the Ni 3d bands with S3 symmetry near the X point of the Brillouin zone no change of the exchange splitting due to adsorption of O and S is found. Depolarization effects of the spin-polarized photoelectrons caused by the adsorbates are interpreted in terms of exchange scattering. Different scattering probabilities for majority- and minority-spin electrons indicate that O and S on Ni(110) are partially polarized parallel to the Ni bulk magnetization.

Using photoelectron spectroscopy we have observed a reversible surface semiconductor-metal transition in hydrides of light and heavy rare earth metals at low temperatures. The reversible diffusion of hydrogen from octahedral-like surface sites into the bulk is thought to push RE 5d states from the hydrogen bonding band back to the conduction band, producing a metallic surface dihydride.
