Abstract
AbstractThe saturation effect of the shake process in photoionization has been studied. The electron shakeup and shakeoff probabilities accompanying K‐shell photoionization have been calculated as a function of incident photon energy in the sudden approximation with taking into account the energy sharing between the photoelectron and the shake electron. The saturation energy is larger for the shakeoff process than for the shakeup process and is smaller for larger principal quantum number n and for larger orbital quantum number l when n is same. This behavior is in qualitative agreement with the experimental results and the dependence of the saturation energy on n and l can be explained due to the energy sharing between two electrons.
