ePSproc MFPAD functions

05/08/19 v1 Initial python version.
Based on original Matlab code ePS_MFPAD.m

Structure

Calculate MFPAD on a grid from input ePS matrix elements. Use fast functions, pre-calculate if possible. Data in Xarray, use selection functions and multiplications based on relevant quantum numbers, other axes summed over.

  • Benchmark on NO2 reference results.
  • ~~Test over multiple E.~~
  • Test over multiple R.
  • More efficient computation? Use Xarray group by?

Formalism

From ePSproc: Post-processing suite for ePolyScat electron-molecule scattering calculations.

\[ \begin{align}\begin{aligned}I_{\mu_{0}}(\theta_{\hat{k}},\phi_{\hat{k}},\theta_{\hat{n}},\phi_{\hat{n}})=\frac{4\pi^{2}E}{cg_{p_{i}}}\sum_{\mu_{i},\mu_{f}}|T_{\mu_{0}}^{p_{i}\mu_{i},p_{f}\mu_{f}}(\theta_{\hat{k}},\phi_{\hat{k}},\theta_{\hat{n}},\phi_{\hat{n}})|^{2}\label{eq:MFPAD}\\T_{\mu_{0}}^{p_{i}\mu_{i},p_{f}\mu_{f}}(\theta_{\hat{k}},\phi_{\hat{k}},\theta_{\hat{n}},\phi_{\hat{n}})=\sum_{l,m,\mu}I_{l,m,\mu}^{p_{i}\mu_{i},p_{f}\mu_{f}}(E)Y_{lm}^{*}(\theta_{\hat{k}},\phi_{\hat{k}})D_{\mu,\mu_{0}}^{1}(R_{\hat{n}})\label{eq:TMF}\\I_{l,m,\mu}^{p_{i}\mu_{i},p_{f}\mu_{f}}(E)=\langle\Psi_{i}^{p_{i},\mu_{i}}|\hat{d_{\mu}}|\Psi_{f}^{p_{f},\mu_{f}}\varphi_{klm}^{(-)}\rangle\label{eq:I}\end{aligned}\end{align} \]

In this formalism:

  • \(I_{l,m,\mu}^{p_{i}\mu_{i},p_{f}\mu_{f}}(E)\) is the radial part of the dipole matrix element, determined from the initial and final state electronic wavefunctions \(\Psi_{i}^{p_{i},\mu_{i}}\) and \(\Psi_{f}^{p_{f},\mu_{f}}\), photoelectron wavefunction \(\varphi_{klm}^{(-)}\) and dipole operator \(\hat{d_{\mu}}\). Here the wavefunctions are indexed by irreducible representation (i.e. symmetry) by the labels \(p_{i}\) and \(p_{f}\), with components \(\mu_{i}\) and \(\mu_{f}\) respectively; \(l,m\) are angular momentum components, \(\mu\) is the projection of the polarization into the MF (from a value \(\mu_{0}\) in the LF). Each energy and irreducible representation corresponds to a calculation in ePolyScat.
  • \(T_{\mu_{0}}^{p_{i}\mu_{i},p_{f}\mu_{f}}(\theta_{\hat{k}},\phi_{\hat{k}},\theta_{\hat{n}},\phi_{\hat{n}})\) is the full matrix element (expanded in polar coordinates) in the MF, where \(\hat{k}\) denotes the direction of the photoelectron \(\mathbf{k}\)-vector, and \(\hat{n}\) the direction of the polarization vector \(\mathbf{n}\) of the ionizing light. Note that the summation over components \(\{l,m,\mu\}\) is coherent, and hence phase sensitive.
  • \(Y_{lm}^{*}(\theta_{\hat{k}},\phi_{\hat{k}})\) is a spherical harmonic.
  • \(D_{\mu,\mu_{0}}^{1}(R_{\hat{n}})\) is a Wigner rotation matrix element, with a set of Euler angles \(R_{\hat{n}}=(\phi_{\hat{n}},\theta_{\hat{n}},\chi_{\hat{n}})\), which rotates/projects the polarization into the MF.
  • \(I_{\mu_{0}}(\theta_{\hat{k}},\phi_{\hat{k}},\theta_{\hat{n}},\phi_{\hat{n}})\) is the final (observable) MFPAD, for a polarization \(\mu_{0}\) and summed over all symmetry components of the initial and final states, \(\mu_{i}\) and \(\mu_{f}\). Note that this sum can be expressed as an incoherent summation, since these components are (by definition) orthogonal.
  • \(g_{p_{i}}\) is the degeneracy of the state \(p_{i}\).
epsproc.MFPAD.mfpad(dataIn, thres=0.01, inds={'Type': 'L', 'it': 1}, res=50, R=None, p=0)[source]
Parameters:
  • dataIn (Xarray) – Contains set(s) of matrix elements to use, as output by epsproc.readMatEle().
  • thres (float, optional, default 1e-2) – Threshold value for matrix elements to use in calculation.
  • ind (dictionary, optional.) – Used for sub-selection of matrix elements from Xarrays. Default set for length gauage, single it component only, inds = {‘Type’:’L’,’it’:‘1’}.
  • res (int, optional, default 50) – Resolution for output (theta,phi) grids.
  • R (list of Euler angles or quaternions, optional.) – Define LF > MF polarization geometry/rotations. For default case (R = None), 3 geometries are calculated, corresponding to z-pol, x-pol and y-pol cases. Defined by Euler angles (p,t,c) = [0 0 0] for z-pol, [0 pi/2 0] for x-pol, [pi/2 pi/2 0] for y-pol.
  • p (int, optional.) – Defines LF polarization state, p = -1…1, default p = 0 (linearly pol light along z-axis). TODO: add summation over p for multiple pol states in LF.
Returns:

  • Ta – Xarray (theta, phi, E, Sym) of MFPADs, summed over (l,m)
  • Tlm – Xarray (theta, phi, E, Sym, lm) of MFPAD components, expanded over all (l,m)
