Absolute energies of the $\mathrm{Ar}K$, $\mathrm{Kr}K$, and $\mathrm{Xe}{L}_{1}$, ${L}_{2}$, ${L}_{3}$ levels have been determined from absorption edges measured with synchrotron radiation. The double-crystal x-ray monochromator was calibrated by a method that ties energy scale directly to crystal lattice constant $\mathrm{hc}$. Theoretical model spectra were constructed \ensuremath{\ge} 4 Lorentzians representing lowest-energy one-electron electric-dipole transitions bound excited states,...
Formulas for the total ionization cross section by electron impact based on binary-encounter-dipole (BED) model and its simpler version, binary-encounter-Bethe (BEB) are extended to relativistic incident energies. Total sections hydrogen helium atoms from new formulas compared experimental data. Relativistic effects double of H He at energy $\ensuremath{\approx}300 \mathrm{keV}$ dominate thereafter. A simple modification original BED-BEB is proposed applications ion targets inner-shell...
The relativistic version of the binary-encounter Bethe (BEB) model is used to calculate cross sections for K-shell ionization atoms by electron impact. BEB requires only two atomic constants, binding energy and kinetic K electrons. These constants are listed carbon antimony. Comparisons with available experimental data on N, O, Na, Al, Cl, Ca, Cu, Se Sb show good agreement. C, Mg, P, S, Cr, As Cd tabulated.
The magnetic interaction has been shown to produce inversion of 1s2p $^{3}\mathrm{P}_{1}$ and $^{3}P_{0}$ for Z\ensuremath{\le}3 Z\ensuremath{\ge}46. In this paper we have used the multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock method compute with high precision 2 $^{3}\mathrm{P}_{1}$--2 separation energy, including relativistic contributions electron-electron correlations radiative corrections. This energy happens be very small around crossing, so that hyperfine can mix both levels significantly. We then...

We have investigated systematically the $K\ensuremath{\alpha}$ x-ray spectra in elements from Ca to Ge within Berger's two-Lorentzian functions model, using a high-resolution antiparallel double-crystal spectrometer, order obtain detail physical meaning of asymmetry spectral profiles. The overall tendency corrected full width at half maximum $K{\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{1}$ and $K{\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{2}$ lines as function $Z$, well linewidths, are good agreement with data reported literature....
The $K\ensuremath{\beta}$ x-ray spectra of the elements from Ca to Ge have been systematically investigated using a high-resolution antiparallel double-crystal spectrometer. Each $K{\ensuremath{\beta}}_{1,3}$ natural linewidth has corrected instrumental function this type spectrometer, and spin doublet energies obtained peak position values in spectra. For all studied $K{\ensuremath{\beta}}_{1}$ lines FWHM increase linearly as $Z$. However, for $K{\ensuremath{\beta}}_{3}$ dependence is...
Fluorescence yields (FY) for the Ni $K$ and $L$ shells were determined by a theoretical an experimental group within framework of International Initiative on X-ray Fundamental Parameters (FPs) collaboration. Coster-Kronig (CK) parameters also measured shell Ni. Theoretical calculations same performed using Dirac-Fock method, including relativistic QED corrections.

A theoretical study the all two-photon transitions from initial bound states with ni = 2, 3 in hydrogenic ions is presented. High-precision values of relativistic decay rates for nuclear charge range 1 =< Z 92 are obtained through use finite basis sets Dirac equation constructed B-splines. We also report spectral (energy) distributions several resonant transitions, which exhibit interesting structures, such as zeroes emission spectrum, indicating that strongly suppressed at certain...
