In this report we present preliminary results about the tunneling problem for a magnetic Schr\"odinger operator. As a motivation we consider the 3-D time-dependent Schr\"odinger operator $H(t)=-h^2\Delta+V+E(t)\cdot x$ where $V$ is a radial…

In this paper we derive formulae for the semiclassical tunneling in the presence of a constant magnetic field in 2 dimensions. The `wells' in the problem are identical discs with Neumann boundary conditions, so we study the magnetic Neumann…
The influence of a magnetic field on the tunneling of an electron out of a confining plane is studied by a path integral method. We map this 3-d problem on to a 1-d one, and find that the tunneling is strongly affected by the field. Without…
