Relativistic and Close-Coupling Effects in the Spin Polarization of Low-Energy Electrons Scattered Elastically from Cadmium

The measurements of the Sherman function in elastic electron-cadmium scattering by Bartsch et al. [J. Phys. B 25, 1511 (1992)] have been in serious disagreement with scattering theories for nearly two decades. The recently developed relativistic convergent close-coupling method is applied to the pro...
