Open shells and multi-electron interactions: core level photoionization of the 3d metal atoms

Abstract

This review covers the outer core level photoionization of the free 3d metal atoms from Sc to Cu. The experimental 3p, 3s and 2p photoemission and photoabsorption spectra are discussed. A comparison emphasizes common features and distinct differences. The interpretation of the data based on ab initio calculations reveals the influence of multi-electron interactions in the 3d metal atoms. We focus on the fundamental effects and main interactions which govern the electronic structure of these open shell atoms.

Extended high-order harmonics from laser-produced Cd and Cr plasmas

“…The studies of the photoionization spectra of cadmium ions have also shown the presence of analogous strong ionic transitions. 12, 13 We did not find in literature the data on the oscillator strengths of the ionic transitions of cadmium in the spectral range of harmonic cutoff for the first plateau. Nevertheless, the above observations and assumptions allow us to suppose a decisive role of the spectral characteristics of ions in the formation of the optimal conditions when free electrons can be compensated for by the closeness of the next set of harmonics to the ionic transitions possessing strong oscillator strengths.…”
