Abstract
The polarization of electrons by scattering from thin gold foils has been observed in a double-scattering experiment. The azimuthal asymmetry in the distribution of the twice-scattered electrons was measured in the energy range from 80 to 190 kev and for scattering angles of 60, 90, and 120 degrees. The observed asymmetries are somewhat smaller than would be expected from the calculations of Mohr and Tassie for the screened field of gold but the predicted increase in asymmetry for increasing scattering angles is confirmed.Keywords
