Photoemission in diatomic molecules
Hello !!!
I have a question that breaks the head to me, jejeje In the process of photoemission, the total cross section is defined by: [tex] \sigma(\omega) = \frac{4\pi}{3}\alpha a_0^2 \omega \sum_{lmm_\gamma} \left| D_{lmm_\gamma}(\omega)\right|^2 [/tex] where [tex]\alpha[/tex] is the fine-structure constant (dimentionless), [tex]a_0[/tex] is the Bohr's radius ( units meters), [tex]\omega[/tex] is the Energy of radiation (units Jules) and [tex]D_{lmm_\gamma}[/tex] are the transition coefficients expressed of the following way [tex] D_{lmm_\gamma}(\omega) = \sqrt{\frac{4\pi}{3}}\bigl< \psi_{lm}(k, r)\bigl| r Y_{1}^{m_\gamma}(\theta,\phi) \bigl | \psi_0(r) \Bigr> [/tex] where the wave function for the emitted electron is ( [tex]k = \sqrt{2E}[/tex] ) [tex] \psi_{lm}(k, \mathbf{r}) = \frac{1}{kr}f_{lm}(kr)Y_{lm}(\theta,\phi) [/tex] and the wave function for the ionized orbital is [tex] \psi_0( r) = \frac{1}{r}\sum_{l m}\psi_{l m}(r)Y_{l}^{m}(\theta,\phi) [/tex] my simple question is: What units must have each one of the involved terms so that the total cross section is expressed in barns? Thanks !!! |
