The incorporation of relativistic correction factors, similar to Gryzinski s relativistic factor [22], on the QIBED model. The resulting model, referred to as MUIBED in Ref. [58], has been successfully tested with various experimental EIICS data for K-, L-, and M-shell ionization of atoms. 

The derivation of its lowest order contribution, i.e. the exchange energy, is discussed in some detail in Appendix B, illustrating in particular the UV-renormalisation required. The final result, that has been obtained by a number of authors [93,94,95,96,18, 19], can be expressed as the nonrelativistic exchange energy density multiplied by a relativistic correction factor.

The inappropriate scaling of the RLDA with Z, and thus also with j6, becomes particularly obvious for fixed electron number. In Fig. 5.5 the percentage deviations of the RLDA for and Ej are shown for the Ne isoelectronic series. The error for the correlation energy in the RLDA shows little tendency to approach zero with increasing Z, indicating that the relativistic correction factor plotted in Fig. 4.4 is inadequate for electronic structure calculations. 

I participated as a graduate student in the experimental activities of the group but also given the task to learn about electronic structure calculations. The standard procedure for evaluation of nuclear moments from measured hyperfine structure constants was to obtain a value of r" from the spin-orbit coupling constant, using relativistic correction factors. The formulas as well as the relativistic correction factors were given in the book by Kopfermann...

Another approach to relativistic hyperfine values was the calculation of relativistic correction factors (RCF) performed by Rosen and Lindgren for group 1 [80] and group 13 elements [81]. These factors were determined as the relativistic and nonrelativistic ratio for (r ) expectation values. 

We have added K the relativistic correction factor which may be as large as 10 for heavy atoms. Equation (17) was first derived by Bouchiat and Bouchiat and is useful for estimating the order of magnitude of PNC effects in atoms. 

To summarize, the relativistic kinematic prescription is to replace COM system momenta by their relativistic values, to replace the reduced mass by the reduced total energy (eq. 3.29), and to use the M0ller factor, eq. (3.37). This prescription yields the correct, relativistic proton-nucleus Coulomb scattering amplitude to order a. The usual proton-nucleus Coulomb potential must also be multiplied by the relativistic correction factor rj (eq. 3.56). 

In eqs. (3.101)-(3.103) (vf) is the local, static Coulomb term and should include the relativistic correction factor, rj (see section 3.4). In eq. (3.101) ( ,cn,m) interpreted as the empirical, on-shell Coulomb distorted nuclear t-matrix obtained from phase shift analyses. The (, cn.m) contain... 

One then uses non-relativistic forms of the gradient correction factor g (The different forms found in the literature do give results that vary only marginally). For the relativistic correction factor x,2 a flexible [2,2] Fade approximant...
