- In radiation: Molecular activation
Of special importance is electronic activation—i.e., production of an electronically excited state of the molecule (see Figure 1). This state can be reached (1) by direct excitation by photon absorption, (2) by impact of charged particles, either directly or indirectly through charge neutralization, or by excitation transfer from excited…
