The first structural determination with spin-polarized, energy-dependent photoelectron diffraction using circularly-polarized x-rays is reported for Fe films on Cu(001). Circularly-polarized x-rays produce spin-polarized photoelectrons from the Fe 2p doublet, and intensity asymmetries in the 2p{sup 3/2} level are observed. . Fully spin-specific multiple scattering calculations reproduce the experimentally determined energy and angular dependences. A new analytical procedure which focuses upon intensity variations due to spin-dependent diffraction is introduced.
