Figure 2

Quantum mechanical picture of the electron–nuclear transitions (dashed arrows) in (a) the SE, (b) the CE and (c) TM mechanisms, which involve one, two or multiple electron spins, respectively. Note that the probabilities of electron–nuclear transitions are always small in the SE but could be large in the CE and TM when degeneracy exists between the states with alternating nuclear spin quantum numbers.
