We review the development of the time-dependent close-coupling method to study atomic and molecular few body dynamics. Applications include electron and photon collisions with atoms, molecules, and their ions.
Large dynamic spin polarization parameters have been calculated
for at least three out of four lines which form the diagram L3M1M4,5 Auger spectra of the alkaline earth
metals strontium, barium and radium, the transition metals
palladium, zinc, cadmium and mercury, the rare gases krypton,
xenon and radon, the lanthanide ytterbium as well as the
actinide nobelium. The large values are primarily caused by the
large phase shifts between the εp and εf partial waves of the emitted Auger
electron which reduce the partial wave expansion of the dynamic
spin polarization parameter to a sum of two or three dominant
terms, only. Due to this, the possibility of a cancellation
among the terms considerably decreases and, therefore, the
entirely large values of the dynamic spin polarization
parameters become understandable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
