Angle- and spin-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy of the Hg 5d 10 subshell

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Atoms and Nuclei

Abstract

Parameters describing electron spin polarization in Hg 5d 10 subshell photoionization have been measured at rare-gas resonance wavelengths between 73.59 nm and 30.38 nm. The spin parameters as well as asymmetry parameters β of a recent measurement are discussed in comparison with both nonrelativistic and relativistic ab initio calculations of several authors. The importance of many-electron correlations and spin-orbit coupling effects is considered.
