Abstract

Radiationless transition probabilities to the atomic 1s shell are calculated for all transitions that contribute measurably to the Auger effect. Screened nonrelativistic hydrogenic wave functions are used. The effective charge for the continuum-electron Coulomb wave function is taken to be the geometric mean of the effective charges appropriate for the state from which the electron originates and the next-higher state. The results are combined with Scofield's radiative transition probabilities to derive theoretical K-shell fluorescence yields. Agreement with a selected set of most reliable ωK measurements is very good in the range from Z=10 to 55, and total K-level widths agree very well with measured values.
