L shell fluorescence yields and coster—kronig transition probabilities for the elements with 25 ⩽ <i>Z</i> ⩽ 96

Abstract

Abstract The values of L i sub‐shell fluorescence yields (ω i ) and Coster–Kronig transition probabilities ( f ij ) were evaluated using radiative and non‐radiative transition rates based on the relativistic Dirac–Hartree–Slater (RDHS) model for all the elements in the atomic number range 25 ⩽ Z ⩽ 96. The values of the Coster–Kronig‐corrected fluorescence (v i ) and average L shell fluorescence (ϖ L ) yields were also evaluated and least‐squares fitted to obtain the polynomials representing them as a function of atomic number.
