title: State-dependent photoionization cross-sections of 3d transition metal atoms.
abstract: Using the saturation method, we measured the absolute photoionization cross-sections of several excited states of titanium, vanadium, chromium, iron, and cobalt. These results are reported for the first time in this paper. The measured values range from 0.4 ± 0.1 Mb to 6.9 ± 2.0 Mb. The results show that the photoionization cross-section depends on the atomic state and not just on the electronic configuration.
