Relativistic K shell decay rates and fluorescence yields for Zn, Cd and Hg

Atomic Physics 2015-05-13 v1

Abstract

In this work we use the multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock method to calculate the transition probabilities for all possible decay channels, radiative and radiationless, of a K shell vacancy in Zn, Cd and Hg atoms. The obtained transition probabilities are then used to calculate the corresponding fluorescence yields which are compared to existing theoretical, semi-empirical and experimental results.
