Generalized geometrical model for photoionization of polarized atoms: II. Magnetic dichroism in the 3p photoemission from the K 3p~64s ~2S_(1/2) ground state

摘要

The generalized geometrical model for photoionization from polarized atoms is extended to include mixing of configurations in the initial atomic and/or the final photoion states. The theoretical results for angle-resolved linear and circular magnetic dichroism are in good agreement with new high-resolution photoelectron data for 3p~(-1) photoionization of potassium atoms polarized in the K 3p~64s ~2S_(1/2) ground state by laser optical pumping.
