Vl. Ermolaev et al., INDUCTIVE-RESONANT MECHANISM OF NONRADIAT IVE-TRANSITIONS IN IONS ANDMOLECULES IN CONDENSED-PHASE, Uspehi fiziceskih nauk, 166(3), 1996, pp. 279-302
The inductive-resonant mechanism of nonradiative transitions between e
lectronic levels in lanthanoid and transition metal ions and complex m
olecules in condensed phase is systematically described. A quantum mec
hanical justification is presented, and theoretical predictions, inclu
ding the values of nonradiative transition rate constants, are compare
d with experiment.
