The soft x-ray emission intensity from Ni(110) surface was measured by appearance potential spectroscopy with spin polarized electrons near 2p electron threshold energy. The pulse count measurements of x-ray intensity instead of ordinary SXAPS measurements with lock-in technique made it possible to obtain knowledge of effects not only the characteristic x-ray but bremsstrahlung x-ray on spectra. The spectra reveal the invalidty of ordinary APS theory based on one electron approximation for Ni.
