A new spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectrometer was developed adopting the very-low-energy-electron-diffraction (VLEED)-type spin polarimeter. The Fe(001)p(1x1)-O film grown on MgO(001) crystal for the VLEED target yields significantly high spin-resolving power, the effective Sherman function of 0.40 +/- 0.02, with long lifetime and stability compared to the conventional Fe(001) target. Under the favor of high resolving power, approximately 100 times higher efficiency than that of conventional Mott-type spin polarimeter, the figure of merit of 1.9 +/- 0.2x10(-2) was achieved. Owing to this high efficiency, high-energy resolution can be realized with this new spin-polarized photoemission spectrometer. The simplified ways of target preparation and revitalization make the VLEED spin polarimeter much more convenient and feasible for the spin-polarized photoemission spectroscopy.
