    van Raan AFJ, Baum G, Raith W. Measurement of the scalar polarizability of very highly excited states of caesium. J.Phys. B. 1976;9(12):L349-L352.First results on the scalar polarizability alpha 0 of a number of very highly excited p states of Cs (40 109 Å3 were measured; the dependence of the polarizability as a function of the principal quantum number n was found to be in agreement with the expected n7 behaviour

    Baum G, Kisker E, Raith W, Schröder W, Sillmen U, Zenses D. Spin-dependent electron impact ionisation of lithium from threshold to 80 eV. J.Phys. B. 1981;14(22):4377-4388.The ionisation asymmetry is measured in a crossed-beam experiment utilising a W/EuS field emitter as a source of polarised electrons and dual-frequency optical pumping as the polarising process for the lithium atomic beam. The antiparallel-parallel asymmetry of the total ionisation cross section is positive with a broad maximum of 0.35 near threshold and a gradual decrease towards higher energies. A comparison is made with results of binary encounter and Born approximations. At threshold no significant variation of the asymmetry with energy is observed within a resolution of 0.3 eV

    Baum G, Kisker E, Mahan AH, Schröder K. The temperature dependence of the spin polarization of field emitted electrons from a W-EuS-vacuum junction. Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials. 1976;3(1-2):4-6.We have measured the temperature dependence P(T) of the electron spin polarization of field emitted electrons from a W-EuS-vacuum junction. The shapes of the P(T) curves depend strongly on the annealing temperature of the EuS layer. Annealed at some temperature between 300°C and 600°C the polarization drops to zero at about 16 ± 2 K

    Production of a spin-polarized, metastable He(23 S) beam for studies in atomic and surface physics

    Baum G, Raith W, Steidl H. Production of a spin-polarized, metastable He(23 S) beam for studies in atomic and surface physics. Z.Phys. D. 1988;10(2-3):171-178.This beam was developed as a target for a crossed-beam electron-atom scattering experiment on the interaction of a polarized spin-1/2 electron with a polarized spin-1 atom. In the future this beam will be used in "Spin-Polarized Metastable Atom Deexcitation Spectroscopy" (SPMDS) for studying ferromagnetic surfaces without and with adsorbate layers. We use a discharge source for producing a beam of metastable helium atoms, a permanent sextupole magnet with a central stop at its exit for selecting He(2^3 S) atoms in the Zeeman substate ms=+1, a zero-field spin flipper for reversing the atomic beam polarization with respect to a magnetic guiding field, and a Stern-Gerlach magnet for analyzing the atomic polarization. At a distance of 90 cm beyond the exit of the sextupole, in the "interaction region" of an experiment, the polarized beam has a circular cross section of about 6 mm FWHM and a particle density of 1·10^7 atoms/cm^3. The reversible spin polarization was determined asP=0.90±0.02. A possible contamination of the beam with metastable singlet atoms is included within this value; the ground-state He atoms are not considered to be part of the polarized beam. An observed contamination with long-lived Rydberg atoms can easily be destroyed by applying a high electric field

    Interference effects between electron exchange and the spin-orbit interaction

    Raith W, Baum G, Tondera M. Interference effects between electron exchange and the spin-orbit interaction. In: Canadian Journal of Physics. Canadian Journal of Physics. Vol 74. Natl. Research Council Canada; 1996: 883-888.In accordance with predictions made in 1974, recent measurements demonstrated that the elastic e-Cs scattering is richer in physics than a simple addition of Mott scattering and nonrelativistic exchange would provide. Now it is time to take a closer look at the general analysis of Burke and Mitchell and think about further experiments that will stimulate improvements in calculations and lead to a deeper understanding of the underlying physics
