We present calculated results of photoionization cross sections and photoelectron angular distributions for ionization out of the five outermost valence orbitals of CF 4 for photon energies ranging from near threshold to 55 eV. The Schwinger variational iterative method, using an exact static-exchange plus a model correlation–polarization potential, is applied to obtain the continuum photoelectron orbitals. The quantitative agreement between our calculated results and the experimental data is fair. Moreover, our study is capable of identifying most structures seen in experimental results for both cross sections and asymmetry parameters.
