Rate of Saturation of Target L-Shell Vacancy Probability, P/sub L/, with Projectile Charge as Given by Coupled-Channels Calculations

摘要

The distribution of intensities of KL/sup n/ K/sub alpha /-satellites is nearly binomial, with parameter p/sub L/, the mean L-shell vacancy probability per electron. The chemical environment of an atom produces a shift, delta p/sub L/ of p/sub L/ from its value for an isolated target atom. delta p/sub L/ tends to increase as p/sub L/ increases, so for greatest chemical sensitivity one wants p/sub L/ as large as possible. p/sub L/ increases with Z/sub p/ but, because it must remain
