We briefly review the spin-polarized positron annihilation experiments on some ferromagnets (Fe, Co, Ni, Gd, Co2MnSi, Co2MnAl and NiMnSb) using positron beams generated with 68Ge-68Ga sources. The differential DBAR spectra between majority and minority spin electrons are well interpreted by the first principles band structure calculation. This further provides information about the half-metallicity of the Heusler alloys. The surfaces of Fe, Co and Ni are more negatively spin-polarized, that is, there are more majority than minority spin electrons. To explain the observed spin polarization quantitatively, detailed theoretical calculations and further experiments are required.
