Scanning tunneling spectroscopy requires the application of a potential difference between the sample and a tip. In metal-vacuum-metal junctions, one can safely assume that the potential is constant along the metallic substrate. Here, we…

The motional electric field experienced by an H2+ ion moving in a magnetic field induces an electric dipole, so that one-photon dipole transitions between rovibrational states become allowed. Field induced spontaneous decay rates are…
