Ionization in damped time-harmonic fields

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study the asymptotic behavior of the wave function in a simple one dimensional model of ionization by pulses, in which the time-dependent potential is of the form V(x,t)=−2delta(x)(1−e−lambdatcosomegat), where delta is the Dirac distribution. We find the ionization probability in the limit toinfty for all lambda and omega. The long pulse limit is very singular, and, for omega=0, the survival probability is constlambda1/3, much larger than O(lambda), the one in the abrupt transition counterpart, V(x,t)=delta(x)mathbf1tge1/lambda where mathbf1 is the Heaviside function.
