Abstract
The effects of relativistic corrections in low-energy electron diffraction intensity calculations are assessed by reference to relativistic and non-relativistic computations for tungsten (001). Small changes are observed in the calculated intensities and band structures and a significant degree of spin-polarisation is predicted for the diffracted beams. The spin-polarisation profiles are more complicated than those observed in gas-phase experiments because of the influence of multiple scattering. The results suggest that LEED could provide a strong source of polarised electrons for use in scattering experiments. It is suggested that in future LEED experiments both spin-polarisation and intensity measurements should be performed on the diffracted electron beams.
