Abstract
As we remember (Chapter 2.1), the non-radiative transitions occurring at the same electronic state are called adiabatic transitions. It means that in terms of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation (see Chapter 1.4) the transitions are going on at the same electronic energy hypersurface between two potential energy minima corresponding to two (quasi) stable configurations of nuclei.
