Spin exchange collisions with inner-shell electrons have been observed
directly by studying elastic scattering of electrons from Mn atoms at 20 eV
using  polarized incident electrons. The polarization after scattering was
measured, and spin exchange was thus obtained directly which results from
exchange with electrons from the unsaturated 3d inner shell of Mn.
