Relativistic convergent close-coupling method calculation of the spin polarization of electrons scattered elastically from zinc and mercury

We present spin-asymmetry parameters (Sherman functions) for elastic electron scattering on zinc and mercury atoms calculated using the relativistic convergent close-coupling method for quasi-two-electron atoms above an inert core. The results for mercury are in excellent agreement with experiment a...
