Abstract

We present an extensive set of theoretical results for spin asymmetry in the form of Sherman functions for the elastic scattering of electrons by zinc, cadmium, and mercury. This study extends the application to these three atoms of our earlier method of calculations, previously employed for stable inert gases and alkaline-earth metals. Our predictions are in adequate agreement with experimental values and precise theoretical results and extend the available theoretical data to a large impact energy range.
