Electron interaction with the environment in tunnel ionization


الملخص بالإنكليزية

The average dwell time of an electron in a potential barrier formed by an external electric field and the potential of a helium atom is evaluated within a semi classical one-dimensional tunneling approach. The tunneling electron is considered to interact with a nuclear charge screened by the electron in the helium ion. It is found that screening leads to smaller average dwell times of the tunneling electron. The dissipative effect of the environment on the tunneling electron is taken into account within a semiclassical model involving a velocity dependent frictional force and is found to change the average dwell time significantly.
