Cálculo da taxa de ionização do átomo de hidrogênio em campo elétrico uniforme via método WKB

Abstract

In this paper we calculated the model dependence of the field ionization rate of hydrogen atom in a uniform electric field. In order to calculate the probability of barrier penetration we use semiclassical (WKB) approximation, which is calculated for two model potentials. In the model 1 the Coulomb potential is used only near the nucleus. In model 2 the Coulomb potential is used in all regions. These results are compared with the accepted result of 4F −1 exp (−2/3F )
