Abstract

This study introduces novel semi-empirical calculations to obtain vacancy transfer probabilities from the K shell for elements in the atomic range 16 ≤ Z ≤ 92. These calculations are derived from experimental data extracted from the scientific literature and previously tabulated by the research team. The results are compared with theoretical, semi-empirical, and experimental values reported in the literature, demonstrating a good agreement between the obtained findings and those of previous works.
