The influence of adsorbates (O₂,CO) on the spin-resolved photoemission spectrum has been studied for two different systems: Ni(110) and an Fe-based ferromagnetic metallic glass. While the influence of oxygen on the amorphous Fe sample is only slight it causes a merging of the spin-split peaks of the Ni sample, suggesting the creation of magnetic dead layers. For CO on Ni no such effect is observed.
