Abstract

We consider the quantum Hamiltonian describing a one dimensional particle in a periodic potential plus constant electric field and show that it exhibits an infinite ladder of resonances in the semi-classical regime. The lifetime of these resonances is related to tunnelling phenomena. This provides in this particular case a positive answer to the question of the existence of Stark Ladders.
