K-shell Auger and radiative transitions in the boron isoelectronic sequence

Auger energies and rates and x-ray wavelengths and intensities for transitions to K-shell vacancies in boron-like ions with 1s2s22p2, 1s2s2p3, and 1s2p4 configurations have been calculated relativistically in terms of the multiconfiguration Dirac--Fock model. Seventeen ions with atomic numbers 6≤Z≤54 were considered. The Breit interaction and quantum-electrodynamic corrections were taken into account in the calculations. Transition rates were evaluated in intermediate coupling, including configuration interaction within the same complex. Line fluorescence yields were also computed. copyright 1988 Academic Press, Inc
