Spin polarization for electrons scattering from cadmium and mercury atoms

Abstract EN

Spin polarization parameter or the so–called Sherman function for the scattering of electrons from cadmium atom in the energy range of 6.4─300 eV and mercury atoms in the energy range of 1- 14 eV are calculated using the relativistic Dirac equation .The projectile target interaction is represented by an optical potential which consists of a sum of model potentials in the solution of relativistic Dirac equation .The results obtained for the spin polarization parameter are found to be in good agreement with the available calculations.
