Abstract

In the present work, we offer a collection of documented values for vacancy transfer probabilities ( η X Y , X = K , L i ; Y = L , M , N , L i , M j , N p , O p ; i = 1 , 2 , 3 ; j = 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ; p = 1 , 4 , 5 ) sourced from published technical literature spanning 1993 to 2023 for elements in the atomic range 16 ≤ Z ≤ 92 . We found 1200 experimental vacancy transfer probability values from 68 scientific papers, during the specified period. These have been compiled and summarized in tables, encompassing various parameters and elements. This data is also comprehensively analysed, including tables that display weighted average vacancy transfer probability ( η X Y ) W values along with the combined standard deviation and the average z-score. We also recommend a new collection of empirical values for the atomic parameters η KL ( T ) , η KL 2 ( R ) , η KL 3 ( R ) , a n d η KM ( R ) of vacancy transfer probabilities. This compilation offers an overview of the present state of atomic data for vacancy transfer probabilities. It is a valuable resource to guide future experimental and theoretical studies in this area.
