Abstract:
The resonance positions, widths (inverse lifetimes), and wave functions of a square-potential well in the presence of a static electric field are calculated by using the outgoing boundary conditions. Our study concentrates on the field-born states that, unlike the well-known Stark resonances, are not associated with the field-free bound states. The effect of a lower cutoff of the static field on the field-born resonance phenomena is studied. The feasibility of experiments, where the isolated long-lived and overlapping short-lived field-born resonances can be explored, is discussed.
