Click For Summary
The partial internal conversion coefficient refers to the ratio of de-excitations that occur through a specific emission process, such as K or L fluorescence, rather than the total emissions. It provides a more focused understanding of how energy is released in specific channels compared to the total internal conversion coefficient, which encompasses all emission types. An example would clarify how the coefficient applies to particular emissions. This concept is crucial for understanding the mechanisms of radioactive decay and energy transitions in atomic systems. Overall, the partial internal conversion coefficient allows for a detailed analysis of specific emission pathways.

Hi all,
We all know what is total internal conversion coefficient (ratio of number of deexcitation via electron emission and gamma emission).
But what is meant by partial internal conversion coefficient??
Pls. explain me with a example.
thanks
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I got it.
it is the coefficient for a particular emission..for .., K or L fluorescence..
