A relativistic scattering wave function. which is valid to second order in alpha Z for all electron velocities, was developed. The wave function has as its dominant term the Sommerfeld-Maue function. The computational simplicity of the closed form Sommerfeld-Maue wave function was retained in this modified Sommerfeld-Maue function. Applications of the wave function to the calculation of cross sections for the scattering of polarized electrons and bremsstrallung production at the shont wave limit of the spectrum were given. A large first- order correction to the Sauter-Fano formula for the bremsstrahlung cross section was obtained. (auth)
