For the chemical process, see Internal conversion (chemistry). Internal conversion is a radioactive decay process where an excited nucleus interacts with an electron in one of the lower electron shells, causing the electron to be emitted from the atom.

The decay scheme on the left shows that Hg produces a continuous beta spectrum with maximum energy 214 keV, that leads to an excited state of the daughter nucleus Tl. This state decays very quickly (within 2.8×10 s) to the ground state of Tl, emitting a gamma quantum of 279 keV. The figure on the right shows the electron spectrum of Hg, measured by mean…

For nuclear decay, nucleus is in its excited states. It deexcites by means of emitting γ-rays, and decays to its ground state.

Internal conversion is an electromagnetic process, by which a nuclear excited state decays by the direct emission of one of its atomic electrons.

Internal conversion is a non-radioactive decay process wherein an excited nucleus interacts electromagnetically with one of the orbital electrons of the atom. This causes the electron to be emitted (ejected) from the atom. Thus, in an internal conversion process, a high-energy electron is emitted from the radioactive atom, but not from the nucleus.

Internal conversion is an electromagnetic process, by which a nuclear excited state decays by the direct emission of one of its atomic electrons.Internal conversion competes with gamma emission, but in this case the electromagnetic multipole fields of the nucleus do not result in the emission of a gamma ray, instead, the fields interact directly with atomic electrons.

Internal conversion is a nucleus desexcitation mode which competes with gamma emission. It occurs after a beta or alpha radioactive decay has left the nucleus in an excited state.

Decay by internal conversion (IC) results in the emission of an atomic electron. This electron, called the internal conversion electron, is emitted from an ...

Decay by internal conversion (IC) results in the emission of an atomic electron. This electron, called the internal conversion electron, is emitted from an atom after absorbing the excited energy of a nucleus. This mode of decay accompanies and even competes with gamma-ray emission as a deexcitation process of unstable nuclei.

Internal conversion is a nucleus desexcitation mode which competes with gamma emission. It occurs after a beta or alpha radioactive decay has left the ...

In internal conversion, excess energy in a nucleus is directly transferred to one of its own orbiting electrons, thereby ejecting the electron from the atom. In ...

Internal conversion is an electromagnetic process, by which a nuclear excited state decays by the direct emission of one of its atomic electrons.

Internal conversion is another electromagnetic process which can occur in the nucleus and which competes with gamma emission. Sometimes the multipole electric ...

Internal conversion is a radioactive decay process wherein an excited nucleus interacts electromagnetically with one of the orbital electrons of the atom. This causes the electron to be emitted (ejected) from the atom. Thus, in an internal conversion process, a high-energy electron is emitted from the radioactive atom, but not from the nucleus. For this reason, the high-speed electrons ...

Internal-conversion electron energies are slightly lower than the true gamma decay energy because of the energy consumed in the ejection of the bound atomic electron (E b in Eq. 1.43). An internal-conversion coefficient of large magnitude does not, however, necessarily signify the emission of a high abundance of internal-conversion electrons.

Internal conversion is an electromagnetic process, by which a nuclear excited state decays by the direct emission of one of its atomic electrons.
