High-energy electrons bombarding a solid produce X-ray bremsstrahlung radiation, which is one of few elementary processes occurring during electron-solid interactions. Photon emission results from electron transition to an unoccupied electron state above the Fermi level. In this work matrix elements of X-ray bremsstrahlung transitions were calculated for solids containing elements from N (Z=7) to Pd (Z=46) and photon energies 1487 eV and 5415 eV. It was found that in the case of light elements the X-ray bremsstrahlung transitions to s-type final states dominate over all other symmetries. It was also shown that X-ray bremsstrahlung transition probabilities increase with decreasing photon energy and increasing atomic number Z. Dependence of X-ray bremsstrahlung transition probabilities on the electron final state energy is also presented in this work.
