Abstract

$K$-series fluorescence yield (${w}_{K}$) measurements have been made for vanadium, manganese, and neon using the proportional counter method. The values obtained are the following: vanadium, 0.304\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.013; manganese, 0.308\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.015; and neon, 0.043\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.004. A discussion of method and errors is given and a comparison of these values with other computed and experimental values is made.
