Abstract
We have recently demonstrated that it is possible to obtain spin-resolved valence band spectra with a very high degree of spin polarization from macroscopically non-magnetic transition metal materials if the excitation light is circularly polarized and has an energy close to the cation 2p(3/2) (L-3) white line. Using the layered compound Sr2CuO2Cl2 as a test system, we report in this paper that the degree of spin polarization is strongly dependent on the transition metal 3d orbital orientation relative to the Poynting vector of the light.
