Collision Physics in Atmospheric Pressure Non-Equilibrium Plasmas

Abstract

Recently, a new aspect of interchannel coupling has been found 1, known as spin-orbit activated interchannel coupling, stimulated by an experimental study on photoionization of Xe in the vicinity of the 3d threshold. This effect results only through the spin-orbit splitting of inner-shell thresholds. Effects of spin-orbit activated interchannel coupling on nondipole 2 photoelectron angular distribution asymmetry parameters have been discussed, including the spin-polarization of photoelectrons from 3d electrons of Xe, Cs and Ba, concluding that through spin-orbit interaction polarization can be achieved and correlation probed.
