Influence of changes in the valence electronic configurations on the structure of K-X-ray spectra of 3d and 4d transition metals

Extensive multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock (MCDF) calculations with the inclusion of the transverse (Breit) interaction and QED corrections [1] have been carried out on 3d and 4d transition metals to explain the dependence of the structure of Kα and Kβ lines on the changes in valence electronic configurations belonging to three different types (N − 1)dq−rNsr (r=2,1,0) and other types created by ionization of valence shell configurations.
