Effects of stray fields on ionization of Rydberg atoms near gold surfaces

The present work has explained a long-standing discrepency between theory and experiment: the broadening of the distances at which Rydberg atoms ionize over a metallic surface. The uneven surface potential distribution on a template-stripped gold surface evaporated on mica is measured with Kelvin pr...
