%X The atomic scattering factor for the ground state of the cobalt ion, 3d7 4F, has been evaluated using nonrelativistic and 'relativistic-corrected' wavefunctions of varying accuracy. The importance of incorporating all types of electron correlation systematically within the valence subshell while keeping a fixed argon core is discussed. From the results presented, it appears that atomic scattering factors evaluated using Hartree-Fock wavefunctions are of sufficient accuracy for an atomic ion with an open-shell ground-state configuration.
