The surface electronic structure of face-centred-cubic cobalt films on Cu(0 0 1) was studied by spin-resolved one- and two-photon photoemission. A minority surface state in a Δ1-symmetry gap of the minority band-structure was identified at about 0.45 eV below the Fermi energy. This state causes a resonance-like enhancement in the population of the minority image-potential surface state in the two-photon-photoemission experiment excited by p-polarized light. Additionally, it appears as a surface-sensitive spectral feature in normal photoemission (PE) and its existence is confirmed by calculations within the one-step model of PE. The majority counterpart of the surface state is theoretically expected at a binding energy of about 1.95 eV. Due to lifetime broadening and bulk transitions in this energy range, the majority state does not appear as a pronounced feature in the spectra. Bulk-derived states close to the Fermi level exhibit shifts to higher binding energy with increasing film thickness, while the minority surface state does not change its energy as a function of Co coverage. These results provide a basis for the interpretation of time-resolved measurements concerning ultrafast magnetization dynamics, which rely on a detailed knowledge of the surface electronic structure of ultrathin films.
