Abstract

The Auger rates, x-ray rates, and fluorescence yields are presented for elements $Z=4\ensuremath{-}54$ when a vacancy is in the $K$ shell. Numerical calculations have been performed using the Hartree-Fock-Slater approach with Kohn-Sham and Gaspar exchange. Comparisons of different exchange approximations on the Auger and x-ray total transition rates and the fluorescence yields are reported. The differences are found to be \ensuremath{\cong} 10-20% at low $Z$ and to decrease with increasing $Z$.
