The electron tunneling from fullerene molecule in a weak electric field

Abstract

We derive equations describing the electron tunneling ionization of the molecular orbitals without symmetry. The modified method of smooth matching the asymptotic wave functions with molecule’s wave functions is suggested, to use the results of numerical calculations of the molecules in the GAUSSIAN. The spatial distribution of the current is considered for tunneling ionization the fullerene C60. We obtained the ionization probability of individual orbitals and spatial distribution of the electron currents at different values of the field, a distance to the screen and orientation of the fullerene.
