Radioactive decay process wherein an excited nucleus interacts electromagnetically with one of its electrons, causing it to be ejected from the atom
Internal conversion is an atomic decay process where an excited nucleus interacts electromagnetically with one of the orbital electrons of an atom. This causes the electron to be emitted (ejected) from the atom. Thus, in internal conversion (often abbreviated IC), a high-energy electron is emitted from the excited atom, but not from the nucleus. For this reason, the high-speed electrons resulting ... Wikipedia
