References and Background
- The tunneling ionization rate for the hydrogen atom in an electrostatic field using the semi-classical approximation (L.D. Landau and E.M. Lifshitz, Quantum Mechanics (Pergamon, New York, 1965), 2nd ed., pg 276.)
- Tunnel Ionization probability for H-like atoms considering potential well was initially proposed by Keldysh (Sov. Phys. JETP, 1965).
- Theory extended to ionization from excited electronic states by Peremolov et al. (Sov. Phys. JETP, 1966).
- Modified for complex atoms and ions by Ammosov et al. (ADK, JETP, 1986).
- Tunneling Ionization of atoms was first observed experimentally by Chin et al. (J. Phys. B, 1985).
- Extensive comparison of ADK predictions have been done by many workers like Augst et al. (J. Opt. Soc. Am, 1991) etc.
- Theoretical and Experimental works regarding ionization related to advanced particle accelerators, fast-ignitor scheme of ICF are noteworthy.
The theoretical work of ADK is so far the most valid and highly appreciated theory.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didnt know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
