“…In atomic physics, especially, the polarization properties of light have been studied for various processes, such as atomic and ionic photoionization [1], hyperfine-quenched transitions [2], two-photon decay [3,4], atomic-field bremsstrahlung [5], radiative electron capture [6], and elastic scattering of light. Elastic scattering of light by atoms and ions [7,8] (so-called Rayleigh scattering) has applications in astronomy, shielding, medical diagnostics, and also is used extensively to obtain information about the structural properties of materials and complex molecules [9][10][11][12][13][14].…”
