Abstract
It is shown that scattering of polarized low-energy electrons can be used to study magnetic critical behavior of well-characterized, free surfaces. For the topmost layers of the Ni(100) surface of a single-crystal magnetic circuit it is found that, in the temperature range , the magnetization decreases with the critical exponent , possibly indicating coupling at the Ni surface.
