The latter equation assumes a 100% linearly polarized ionizing radiation, a is the fine structure constant, Nni is the number of electrons in a nl subshell, Dni->ei l is a radial dipole photoionization amplitude, fini is the dipole photoelectron angular asymmetry parameter, and A i2 is the electric dipole-quadrupole interference term arising due to the correction term ikr in the above expression for Mab,...

Figure 28 Relativistic RPAE calculated results [30] of the 6s dipole photoelectron angular distribution parameter of Hg at two different levels of truncation with regard to RRPA interchannel coupling (a) including channels from the 6s2 subshell alone, Aa, and (b) including channels from the 6s2 and 5d10 subshells of d>Hg, as in Figure 27. Confinement effects were accounted for in the A-potential model at the frozen-cage approximation level.

We consider the expression of the lab frame photoelectron angular distribution for a randomly oriented molecular sample. The frozen core, electric dipole approximation for the differential cross-section for electron emission into a solid angle about a direction k can be written as...

Calculated results for the Ar nondipole Is photoelectron angular-asymmetry parameter yis(< ) for free Ar, Ar C60, Ar C60 (-240 and Ar C6o C240 C540 are shown in Figure 15 (the nondipole parameter Sns vanishes, by definition, and the dipole parameter fins = 2, i.e., is constant, nonrelativistically for the photoionization of ns-states). 

Nonrelativistically, the dipole ns photoelectron angular asymmetry parameter /9 s( >) is independent of the photon energy or, = 2. This is because,... 

Within the dipole approximation (jphoton = 1) and for the example of photoionizing an wp-electron from a closed-shell atom (J = 0), the photoelectron angular momentum is either t = 0 or 2 and, hence,... 

When M is an atom the total change in angular momentum for the process M + /zv M+ + e must obey the electric dipole selection mle Af = 1 (see Equation 7.21), but the photoelectron can take away any amount of momentum. If, for example, the electron removed is from a d orbital ( = 2) of M it carries away one or three quanta of angular momentum depending on whether Af = — 1 or +1, respectively. The wave function of a free electron can be described, in general, as a mixture of x, p, d,f,... wave functions but, in this case, the ejected electron has just p and/ character. 

In Eq. (12), l,m are the photoelectron partial wave angular momentum and its projection in the molecular frame and v is the projection of the photon angular momentum on the molecular frame. The presence of an alternative primed set l, m, v signifies interference terms between the primed and unprimed partial waves. The parameter ct is the Coulomb phase shift (see Appendix A). The fi are dipole transition amplitudes to the final-state partial wave I, m and contain dynamical information on the photoionization process. In contrast, the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients (CGC) provide geometric constraints that are consequent upon angular momentum considerations.

These may be generated by irradiating an atom with a beam of monochromatic X-rays or ultraviolet rays. X-ray and electron spectroscopy is one of the main methods used for studying the structure of atomic electronic shells, particularly inner ones, as well as the role of relativistic and correlation effects. A wealth of such information may also be obtained from the studies of angular distribution of photoelectrons. It is interesting to notice that with increase of the energy of X-rays the dipole approximation fails to correctly describe the angular distribution of electrons. 

Note that m is an abbreviation for mf.) It can be seen that in general there exist two photoionization channels which differ in the orbital angular momentum ( of the photoelectron and can interfere. Equ. (2.9a) is the dipole selection rule for the...

Ionization at a given photon energy may proceed in several channels. For example, the dipole selection rule, A l- 1, permits an initial electronic state of angular momentum / to decay into two degenerate ionization channels, the / +1 and / -I channels in which the photoelectrons have angular momenta (/ + 1) h and (/ - 1 )h. Since the parameters a and P contain the radial matrix elements for ionization into the two channels, and since these elements are proportional to the overlap of the electronic wavefunctions for the initial and final states of the ionization process, it follows that a and P are functions of these overlaps. Secondly, since the two photoelectron waves have different phase and nodal structures, they may interfere this interference is also determinative of o and p values. For atomic photoionization and LS coupling, one finds ...
