Spin-dependent metastable He ($2^{3}S$) atom scattering from ferromagnetic surfaces: Potential application to polarized-gas production

Haruka Maruyama, Mitsunori Kurahashi, Kanta Asakawa +1

A spin-polarized triplet metastable helium (He*) beam has been used as a probe for surface magnetism, but changes in the spin state during scattering from a surface remain unclear.…
