Atomic photoeffect
Abstract
Recent theoretical research related to the ionization of atoms by electromagnetic radiation (i.e., atomic photoeffect) is reviewed, with particular attention given to an approach based on the many-body theory. Complete and partial cross sections, angular distributions, and polarizations of photoelectrons and interference phenomena in continuous and discrete spectra are calculated with allowance for multielectron correlations (for a series of atoms and ions). The characteristics of the process near the threshold of inner shells, two-electron photoionization, and some aspects of electron spectroscopy are discussed.
