TL;DR: In this article, the Born-Oppenheimer approximation is used to explain the fast rates of internal conversion and highly variable rates of inter-system crossing of radiationless transitions, and explains the deuterium effect and external heavy-atom effect on the radiationless transition.

Abstract: Radiationless transitions are treated from the viewpoint of the nonstationary character of the Born—Oppenheimer approximation. It is shown that the theory explains the fast rates of internal conversion and highly variable rates of intersystem crossing, accounts for the temperature dependence and selection rules of radiationless transitions, and explains the deuterium effect and external heavy‐atom effect on the radiationless transitions.

Robert Englman,Joshua Jortner +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a unified treatment of non-radiative decay processes in large molecules which involve either electronic relaxation between two electronic states or unimolecular rearrangeme(s) is presented.

Ultrafast Excited-State Dynamics in Nucleic Acids
TL;DR: The nature and dynamics of the singlet excited electronic states created in nucleic acids and their constituents by UV light are reviewed, finding that these states are highly stable to photochemical decay, perhaps as a result of selection pressure during a long period of molecular evolution.

TL;DR: Born and Huang's classic work on the dynamics of crystal lattices was published over thirty years ago, and it remains the definitive treatment of the subject as mentioned in this paper. But it is not the most complete work on crystal lattice dynamics.
