Multiple liver abscesses due to Yersinia enterocolitica reveal hereditary hemochromatosis

Abstract

The transition energies corresponding to the transition array KMx→MxM2,3 (x = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) have been calculated using Slater formulas for interaction between two holes in inner shells and HFS values of electrostatic Slater integrals. The initial and final state energies have been corrected for the adiabatic relaxation of atomic orbits, which take place due to creation of an inner vacancy. The value of this adiabatic relaxation energy for KM states has been calculated semi-empirically by comparing the KM13S1→L3M13P2 transition energies with the measured Kα1 line energies. For the final state, this value has been taken from available literature[21]. It is found that the satellite β10 in the K-emission spectra of Zn, Ga, Ge, Mo and Rh is emitted by the superposition of more than one transition of the array. Consideration of the relative transition probabilities shows that the major contribution to β10 comes from a K→M2,3 transition in the presence of a 3d spectator vacancy. It has been suggested that the satellite β′1 (7655.5 eV, Edamoto 1950) in the K-emission spectrum of cobalt, and the satellite β7 (8271.2 eV) in the K-spectrum of nickel should be reidentified as β10. It has been shown that the two lines β′1 (8268.0 eV) and β″1(8270.3 eV) observed[13] in the nickel Kβ spectrum are two components of the satellite β10, and it is hence suggested that these should be renamed β10(1) and β10(2) respectively. Similarly, the lines β″(1) (8909.3 eV) and β″(2)(8913.0 eV) in the CuKβ spectrum are proved to be two components of β10 and hence should be renamed β10(1) and β10(2) respectively.
