In 2020 the group embarked on a mission to prepare digitised versions of tabulated theoretical photoionisation cross sections. Here you can find details and filed for the famous Tabulated Photoionisation Cross Sections from Yeh and Lindau from 1985, the Theoretical Photoionization Cross Sections from 1 to 1500 keV from James H. Scofield from 1973, and the most recent work on Dirac-Fock Photoionisation Parameters by Malvina Trzhaskovskaya and Yarzhemsky.

Scofield (1973)

We digitised the full tabulated photoionisation cross section data calculated by James H. Scofield (1973). The original report from Scofield can be found here. These data were calculated treating electrons relativistically in a Hartree-Slater central potential for all elements 1 ≤ Z ≤ 101 for selected, varying photon energies from 1 to 1500 keV.

Yeh and Lindau (1985)

We digitised the full tabulated atomic subshell photoionisation cross sections calculated by J.J Yeh and I. Lindau (1985). The original paper from Yeh and Lindau can be found here. These data were calculated using the Hartree-Fock-Slater one-electron central potential model for all elements 1 ≤ Z ≤ 103. Cross sections were calculated for selected atomic orbitals for the following photon energies: 10.2 eV (H), 16.7 eV (Ne I), 21.2 eV (He I), 26.8 eV (Ne II), 40.8 eV (He II), 80 eV, 132.3 eV (Y Mζ), 151.4 eV (Zr Mζ), 200 eV, 300 eV, 600 eV, 800 eV, 1041.0 eV (Na K⍺), 1253.6 eV (Mg K⍺), 1486.6 eV (Al K⍺) and 8047.8 eV (Cu K⍺).

Trzhaskovskaya and Yarzhemsky (2018 & 2019)

We digitised the tabulated Dirac-Fock photoionisation cross section and angular distribution parameter data calculated by Trzhaskovskaya and Yarzhemsky in 2018 and 2019. The original papers can be found here and here. These data were calculated using relativistic calculations by the Dirac–Fock method and the angular distribution parameters were obtained in the quadrupole approximation for energies above 1.5 keV and for for all elements 1 ≤ Z ≤ 100.

Disclaimer, Contact and Thanks

Whilst we have done our best to accurately digitise the data and have had an internal peer review process in place, we cannot guarantee that the documents are error free. If you find any mistakes or have any queries or suggestions regarding the dataset, please contact Anna via email (a.regoutz – AT – ucl.ac.uk). We will ensure to update the files on our group website and on figshare, if necessary.

Finally, the group is very grateful to Prof. Lindau for agreeing to make the original Yeh and Lindau dataset available to the community in a, we hope, easily accessible format. Our gratitude also goes to Joe Nilsen and Anne Starck from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory who helped to obtain permission to digitise the Scofield dataset. We thank Francesco Borgatti from CNR- ISMN, Bologna, Italy, for sharing his existing version of digitised Scofield values on which we built the current set of Scofield files. We are also very grateful to Malvina Trzhaskovskaya for agreeing to make the their datasets available to the community and providing us with initial data files.

Galore

Galore is a package that applies cross-sectional weighting and broadening to data from ab-initio calculations. Further details about Galore are discussed in this paper. Galore currently implements photoionisation cross section values for high energy photons (1-1500 keV) calculated by Scofield (1973) and already implements cross sections for Al K⍺ (XPS) and He II (UPS) energies taken from the Yeh and Lindau dataset. We are currently working on integrating the full dataset from Yeh and Lindau into the Galore software package. So watch this space!
