Preferred Label : radiative de-excitation;
Detailed label : radiative de-excitation in spectrochemistry;
IUPAC definition : The change in the internal energy of a particle may be due to radiative processes,
i.e. the emission or absorption of a photon. A particle in an excited state may undergo
a transition to a lower energy level by emission of a photon. This is known as radiative
de-excitation. If such a transition occurs spontaneously its probability per second
for a given excited particle is termed the transition probability for spontaneous
emission.;
