Wave-packet propagation study of the charge-transfer dynamics of Rydberg atoms with metal surfaces

A wave-packet propagation study is presented of the ionization dynamics of xenon and hydrogen Rydberg atoms interacting with a metal surface in the presence of an external field. The calculations are performed using a Coulomb-wave discrete variable representation, which allows an efficient extension...
