XUV spectroscopy of metal atoms

Abstract

The XUV spectra of free metal atoms obtained by absorption, photoion, photoelectron and two-photon spectroscopy are reviewed. The experimental results are discussed in comparison with the predictions of the different theoretical approaches. Emphasis is put on the basic excitation and de-excitation processes, the importance of electron correlation, on common features of groups and on trends along series.
