In this effect's analogous recombination in semiconductors, an electron and an electron-hole combine and give their energy to a third particle.
In one recent study, Mn-2+ dopants in quantum dots showed a higher degree of effectiveness than undoped dots for this effect. One special case of this effect is the Coster-Kronig transition, while the resonant form of this occurs in case of a lower Rydberg state allowing coupling between its central particles. Its yield increases with atomic number, showing a 50% likelihood of occurrence in zinc-30. In this effect's analogous recombination in semiconductors, an electron and an electron-hole combine and give their energy to a third particle. Discovered by Lise Meitner two years prior to its discovery by its French namesake, this effect occurs when a vacancy in the innermost K-shell of an electron is filled. FTP, name this effect in which an electron is emitted instead of a photon after an electron transitions to an inner shell, which gives its name to a type of spectroscopy.
