Abstract

We consider a Stark Hamiltonian on a two-dimensional bounded domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions. In the strong electric field limit we derive, under certain local convexity conditions, a three-term asymptotic expansion of the low-lying eigenvalues. This shows that the excitation frequencies are proportional to the square root of the boundary curvature at a certain point determined by the direction of the electric field.
