Z. Altun et St. Manson, Photoelectron angular distributions of ns subshells of open-shell atoms asindicators of interchannel coupling: Sc 4s photoionization - art. no. 030702, PHYS REV A, 6103(3), 2000, pp. 0702
It is shown that the photoelectron-angular distribution asymmetry parameter
beta, arising from ns photoionization in open-shell atoms, is quite a bit
more sensitive to interchannel coupling than the integrated cross section.
An example of 4s photoionization of atomic Sc is presented. It is demonstra
ted that this effect can occur throughout the periodic system.
