Radiation of a tunneling electron on a secondary recombination center

Abstract

We discuss the photon emission that occurs due to the radiative recombination of an electron on a nearby center after tunneling ionization. The model of an active electron is used, and analytical solution to three-dimensional problem is obtained. The dependence of the photon emission from a distance between centers of ionization and a recombination, and also the electric field orientation are investigated. The formulas for probability of recombination radiation are derived.

Interference at the tunnel ionization from double-center potential

“…However, in this case the theory is limited to consideration of the localized states of individual molecular orbitals. The concept of localized states without taken into account possible interference lies at the basis of the description of tunneling effects in nanostructures [8,9]. At the same time, detecting the possible role of delocalization initial states requires special consideration.…”
