Effects of spin-orbit-interaction-activated interchannel coupling on photoemission time delay

Abstract

Spin-orbit-interaction-activated interchannel coupling (SOIAIC) has been investigated theoretically in the time delay domain for 3d photoemission in the isoelectronic sequence I−, Xe, and Cs+ using the relativisticrandom-phase approximation with relaxation. The results show that SOIAIC becomes more important with increasing nuclear charge, and that time delay is affected more strongly than cross sections or photoelectron angular distribution β parameters.
