Abstract
Spin polarization and magnetic circular and linear dichroism in photoemission are interpreted in a many-electron approach. The six different ways to orient the three polarizations in the experiment (magnetization, electric vector of the light, and spin of the photoelectron) allow measurement of six different kinds of correlation between the corresponding atomic properties (valance spin, core-hole orbital momentum, and core-hole spin, respectively). This allows us to analyze exchange and hybridization effects and is illustrated for the 2p and 3p photoemission of ferromagnetic Ni metal.Keywords
