Abstract
The contribution of exchange interactions is investigated for spin polariza tion of electrons which are scattered elastically from xenon and mercury at the energy of 1.5 eV. We find that election exchange between the bound-sta te and the scattered electron gives rise to a substantial spin polarization in both cases.
