Diffusive Ionization of Relativistic Hydrogen-Like Atom
arXiv:chao-dyn/9811025 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.60.700
Abstract
Stochastic ionization of highly excited relativistic hydrogenlike atom in the monochromatic field is investigated. A theoretical analisis of chaotic dynamics of the relativistic electron based on Chirikov criterion is given for the cases of one- and three-dimensional atoms. Critical value of the external field is evaluated analitically. The diffusion coefficient and ionization time are calculated.
