Is there experimental data that proves that electrons can jump to another level more easily when in close proximity to other atoms as suggested in Volume III - Semiconductors / Band Theory of Solids / Electron Band Overlap in Metallic Elements?
I am not aware of a method where a single atom can be isolated. If such a method exists can someone point me to a paper (or papers) to read?
If the rationale for this assertion is from experiments where various dilutions are involved, how is it known for a certainty that the electrons are actually moving back and forth between sub-levels when multitudes of atoms are in close proximity?
