Description

Spin asymmetries are presented for superelastic scattering of spin-polarized electrons from spin-polarized M/sub L/ = +1 and M/sub L/ = -1 states of the Na 3P/sub 3/2/ atom. The incident energy dependence at a scattering angle of 300 is shown for energies of 1.26 to 11.76 eV. In addition, angular dependences over the range 50 to 400 are given at 2.0 and 9.26 eV. Large differences are seen between the spin asymmetries for the two M/sub L/ sublevels of the excited state, with the M/sub L/ = -1 asymmetry reaching a value of 100% at 2 eV and 350 scattering angle, corresponding to pure singlet scattering
