Kr. Karim et L. Logan, Radiative and auger transitions from variously ionized neon atoms with configurations 1s2s(m)2p(n), PHYS SCR, 58(6), 1998, pp. 574-582
X-ray and Auger transition rates, X-ray wavelengths, lifetimes, and fluores
cence yields have been computed for variously ionized neon atoms with one e
lectron in the Is shell and every possible number of electrons in the 2s an
d 2p shells. The atomic model used is the self-consistent Hartree-Fock mode
l with the inclusion of effects arising from the spin-orbit coupling. The r
esults from the present calculation has been compared with those available
in the literature. Good agreement is found in transition rates. Both the X-
ray and the Anger transition rates increase as the total number of spectato
r elections in the 2s and 2p shells increase, whereas the fluorescence yiel
ds decrease with the total number of spectator electrons. The configuration
-average atomic parameters calculated from the scaling law often used to in
terpret experimental spectra, are tested against those computed from indivi
dual transitions. The configuration-average transition rates and fluorescen
ce yields obtained from individual transition rates vary significantly from
those obtained using approximate scaling laws.
