Abstract
A pair of interacting parabolic terms are considered. The terms are linearly coupled with a medium, which has a Debye spectrum of frequences. By the help of the model presented here it is possible to describe localized thermal transitions of electrons in imperfections. The relaxation equation describing the transition in the system is found by using time‐dependent perturbation theory for interaction and coupling. The relaxation equation is solved approximately. It is shown that the nonadiabatic transition rate has a maximum as a function of the interaction with the medium. This effect may be observed experimentally.Keywords
