The temperature dependence of the valence-band energy-distribution curves of ultrathin Fe/W(100) films has been measured with use of spin- and angle-resolved photoemission. Majority and minority features at {bar {Gamma}} are stationary with increasing temperature; apparent peak broadening is caused by the emergence of extraordinary'' peaks. Comparison with a cluster calculation suggests that short-range ferromagnetic order {similar to}4 A exists above {ital T}{sub {ital C}} in the 1.5-monolayer film.
