Ionization of atoms in the tunnelling regime with experimental evidence using Hg atoms
FA Ilkov, JE Decker, SL Chin - Journal of Physics B: Atomic …, 1992 - iopscience.iop.org
Some'Keldysh-like'theories are analysed leading to a more pragmatic definition of the
tunnelling regime of ionization of atoms. Rather than using the more extreme definition of …

Resolving the evolution of extant and extinct ruminants with high-throughput phylogenomics
The Pecorans (higher ruminants) are believed to have rapidly speciated in the Mid-Eocene,
resulting in five distinct extant families: Antilocapridae, Giraffidae, Moschidae, Cervidae, and …
