Tunnel Ionization of Molecules and Orbital Imaging
Tunnel Ionization of Molecules and Orbital Imaging is a scholarly work by Michael Spanner, Mikhail Y. Ivanov, and Serguei Patchkovskii, published in 2011 in ''Physical Review Letters''. The main subjects of the publication include physics, atomic physics, mass spectrometry, attophysics, molecule, materials science, molecular orbital, atomic orbital, electronic structure, Tunnel ionization, electric field, ionization, and density functional theory. The authors show that the common view, which associates tunnel ionization rates with the electronic density profile of the ionizing orbital, is not always correct.
