Li (i=1–3) subshell fluorescence and Coster-Kronig yields for elements with 70Z92

The atomic inner-shell vacancy decay processes comprised of radiative and nonradiative transitions are characterized by the fluorescence, Auger and Coster-Kronig yields. We present a review of our recent measurements of the L_i (i=1, 2, 3) sub-shell fluorescence yields (ω_i) and the L₁–L₃ Coster-Kronig transition probabilities (f₁₃) for elements with 70Z92 following photoionization. The comparison of the measured ω_i and f₁₃ values with the theoretical ones, based on the relativistic Dirac–Hartree–Slater (RDHS) model calculations, indicated the need for more refined calculations of transition probabilities for different Coster-Kronig transitions.
