Abstract

Radiationless transitions filling vacancies in atomic $M_{1}$ , $M_{2}$ , and $M_{3}$ subshells have been calculated relativistically with Dirac-Hartree-Slater wave functions for ten elements with atomic numbers $67 \leq Z \leq 95$ . Results are compared with those of nonrelativistic calculations and experiment. Relativistic effects are found to be significant. Limitations of an independent-particle model for the calculation of Coster-Kronig rates are noted.
