Angular distribution and spin polarization for resonant Auger emissions and for open shell transitions

Abstract

A model is developed to calculate anisotropy coefficients for resonant Auger emissions and for normal Auger emissions on elements with one electron in an open subshell. By applying some simple restrictions to the model the author connects the required matrix elements with those for the case of closed subshells which are already analysed. For an intermediate state with Jf=0 the angular distribution becomes independent of the matrix elements. The angular distribution parameters are calculated for these cases.

Angular anisotropy in the Auger decays of resonantly excited Kr 3d-15/25p and Xe 4d-15/26p states

“…They also probed this relation using their experimental data. Fulther investigations have been carried out by Lohmann (1991). However, to our knowledge our preceding paper (Hergenhahn er a1 1991, hereafter referred to as I) based on the 'strict spectator model' has been the only attempt to explain angular distributions in the resonant Auger decays of heavier atoms on a purely theoretical basis.…”
