Abstract

New results of spin polarization of both photoelectrons and Auger electrons are reported after 5p photoionization of free Ba atoms with circularly polarized light. A substantial polarization transfer from the spin polarized photons to the spin polarized photoelectrons and via the hole state orientation to the spin polarized Auger-electrons is observed. The cross comparison of the results for photoelectrons and Auger-electrons allows a quantitative test of the assumed two step model where both electron-emission processes occur in sequence.
