7. The off-specular polarization spectrum for Cu(100) is in marked disagreement with earlier work of K.-P. Kämper, D. L. Abraham and H. Hopster, Phys. Rev. B. 45, 14t335 (1992), Fig. 6, who reported much greater polarization losses using a similar geometry and approximately the same primary beam energy as employed in the present work. They reported no measurements in specular geometry.
