Keywords: spin-polarization S, and the spin-polarization parameters U and T, energy range 1 eV Ei 2 keV, Dirac relativistic partial wave analysis AbstractThe spin-polarization S and the spin-polarization parameters U and T of the elastically scattered electrons from Hg atoms have been computed for scattering angles 0°-180°in the energy range 1 eV E 2 keV i   . An optical model approach is employed using a complex optical potential within the framework of the Dirac relativistic partial wave analysis. We compare our results with recent experiments and available theoretical calculations and find a reasonable agreement with experiments over a wide range of energies.
