autoionization

subject fact

autoionization has inverse process dielectronic recombination 2001-09-27 09:29:47.0
has definition A phenomenon occurring when a discrete double-excitation state of an atom lies in the ground-state continuum. In the autoionization process one of the excited electrons is ejected, leaving the ion in an excited state (see dielectronic recombination; see also Auger effect). (also called pre-ionization) has source: Hopkins, J. 1976 Glossary of Astronomy and Astrophysics, University of Chicago Press, 2001-09-27 09:29:47.0
is a kind of ionization

ionization has antonym recombination

atomic process has domain atomic physics

event has duration 2001-09-27 09:29:57.0
