摘要: Abstract The ionization of xenon Rydberg atoms excited to the lowest states in n = 20 Stark manifold at Si(1 0 0) surfaces possessing a robust (∼10 A) native oxide layer is investigated. data show that sizeable fraction incident are ionized relatively far from surface through enhanced tunneling due presence localized stray fields associated with charging or inhomogeneities. A simple model presented justify this assertion.
