K-LL Auger transition probabilities for elements with low and intermediate atomic numbers

Radiationless K-LL transition probabilities have been calculated nonrelativistically in j-j coupling and in intermediate coupling, without and with configuration interaction, for elements with atomic numbers from 13 to 47. The system is treated as a coupled two-hole configuration. The single-particle radial wave functions required in the calculation of radial matrix elements, and in the calculation of mixing coefficients in the intermediate-coupling scheme, were obtained from Green's atomic independent-particle model. Comparison with previous theoretical work and with experimental data is made. The effects of intermediate coupling, configuration interaction, and relativity are noted.

Relativistic K-shell Auger rates, level widths, and fluorescence yields

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.
