Propagation of Waves and Particles Through Porous Structures (I)

Abstract

The processes of the propagation of quantum and classical charged particles through porous films are studied. The propagation of quantum particles is analyzed by numerically calculating the Schrödinger equation. The polarization force acting on the charge is calculated within the framework of classical electrodynamics. The possibility of pore formation in the films is analyzed in the problem of the propagation of ions with large charges through ultrathin carbon films. Mathematical modeling of the film accompanied by elucidation of the most important polarization properties is carried out to understand the process more clearly. The calculations show the possibility of film perforation because of the action of ponderomotive forces generated by the strong polarization field of the wave packet of the passing ion.
