Abstract

The electron spin polarimeters based on the exchange asymmetry in ferromagnetic layers were discussed. The polarization vector of a spin-polarized electron beam emerging from a ferromagnet was determined. The particular case of two uncoupled ferromagnetic layers with in-plane magnetizations in a perpendicular configuration was studied. It was shown that the transmitted intensity depended on the three components of the primary polarization and it was proposed to use such a structure as a convenient spin detector for low-energy electrons.
