Hartree-Fock values ofLx-ray emission rates

Abstract
Separate relativistic Hartree-Fock solutions for atoms in their initial and final states are used for calculating the radiative decay rates of L-shell vacancy states. The matrix-element calculations include the exchange effects of the nonzero overlap of wave functions from different subshells. Results are presented for a set of elements from Z=18 to 94. The rates for producing multiple vacancy states in the decay process are included in the calculation. The corrections to single-potential Hartree-Slater values of the L x-ray emission ratios are less than the present accuracies and spread in the experimental data.
