An iterative method for obtaining accurate atomic inner shell binding energies

Abstract

A new method based on an iterative procedure for obtaining accurate atomic inner shell binding energies is described. The method makes use of the doubly modified Moseley plot as the starting point. As an illustration accurate binding energies for the M shell in the atomic number range 574Z471 have been obtained. This has also resulted in the removal of the anomaly in the M binding energy of Z"68. Our calculations point to a need for a fresh look at the theoretical calculations of inner shell binding energies for Z"57 to 71 in which some unsuspected effects appear to occur when the 4f shell is opened, half filled and closed.

Lα X-ray satellites for 31 ≤ Z ≤ 38: Systematization

“…We [6] for the Lα 3 and Lα 4 satellites are also given in the table 1. The self consistent doubly modified Mosley plot procedure developed by Misra et al (1996) [24] being considered to be superior to these methods can not be applied for the calculation of Lα 5 , Lα 6 and Lα 7 satellites as the energy data is only available for three elements Z= 36-38. The energy values shown in table 1 obtained using the above two procedure will not improve significantly after employing self consistent doubly modified Mosley plot procedure.…”
