Abstract
Discrepancies are demonstrated to exist in the conventional mathematical treatment of the charge-exchange model for field evaporation, and a new treatment is presented that concentrates on the behaviour of the atomic nucleus prior to evaporation. The new approach seems physically more correct, produces markedly better agreement with experimental data concerning rate-constant field-sensitivity, and resolves several outstanding puzzles in field evaporation theory. The main numerical achievement is to predict a value of −6 for the ratio of partial energies μ 2 μ 1 .
