TY - JOUR AB - In low-energy electron diffraction from Pt(111), the longitudinal component of the spin polarization vector and its transverse component normal to the scattering plane were measured by a Mott detector and found to agree very well with corresponding theoretical results. Rotation diagrams of the longitudinal and transverse components exhibit only a three-fold symmetry in contrast to the six-fold symmetry, which time reversal invariance dictates for intensities.
