Abstract
Nonradiative multiphonon transitions generated by the interaction of the electronic system with quantized normal oscillation modes are described quantum-theoretically on the basis of the static coupling scheme which is an essential, physically plausible alternative model to the adiabatic coupling scheme predominantly used in earlier papers. Putting emphasis on the mathematical correctness of the calculations we obtain a generally valid expression for nonradiative multiphonon transition rates which is based on the concept of temperature-averaged overlap factors. In the case of a single phonon energy this result is reduced to very compact expressions not given in original papers published so far. For non-vanishing phonon dispersion a simple standard formula is given which is suited for approximative numerical calculations.
