Rydberg stabilization of atoms in strong fields: the “magic mountain” in the chaotic sea

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

We discuss the classical problem of an hydrogen atom interacting with a monochromatic field. We illustrate in particular, analytically and numerically, the stabilization mechanism and give theoretical expressions for the stabilization borders.
