Relativistic K-shell Auger rates, level widths, and fluorescence yields
Abstract
Systematic relativistic (Dirac-Hartree-Slater) calculations of atomic K-shell Auger transition probabilities are reported for 25 elements with Z between 18 and 96, inclusive. K-level Auger widths are found to be enhanced by relativistic effects, while total K-level widths are reduced. Relativistic theoretical K-shell fluorescence yields are in excellent agreement with experiment. Theoretical relative intensities of K-LX Auger transitions in heavy elements, calculated in j-j coupling, agree well with measurements; for low Z, configuration interaction and intermediate coupling must apparently be included.
