摘要
A new method is reported for calculating the field ionization of an atom near a metal surface. Instead of calculation the tunneling probability of a one-dimensional system, we consider a variational calculation of the interaction energy of the atom with the external field. The width of the ionization zone is calculated and found in reasonable agreement with known experimental data.
