Abstract:
Sawtooth structures are observed in tunneling probabilities with changing Planck's constant for a periodically perturbed rounded-rectangular potential with a sufficiently wide width for which instanton tunneling is substantially prohibited. The sawtooth structure is a manifestation of the essential nature of multiquanta absorption tunneling. Namely, the periodic perturbation creates an energy ladder of harmonic channels at E_{n}=E_{I}+nℏω, where E_{I} is an incident energy and ω is an angular frequency of the perturbation. The harmonic channel that absorbs the minimum amount of quanta of n=n[over ¯], such that V_{0}
