Abstract

An analytic method is presented for evalution of internal conversion coefficients (ICC) in inner shells of neutral or ionized atoms. Analytic formulas for ICC are given which include electron screening and static nuclear size effects. Predictions have also been obtained from these formulas for point Coulomb ICC or for screening effects included only in bound state normalization. Very good agreement with full numerical calculations is found, except in those cases where the formation region of the ICC is not well inside the atom. While the discussion in this paper concerns mediumZ elements (30<Z<80) and not too low energy, the method can be extended to other situations. The method is suited also for ICC of the inner shells of ionized atoms, even for very high degree of ionization.
