A quantum kinetic equation is derived for the description of pair production in a time-dependent homogeneous electric field E(t). As a source term, the Schwinger mechanism for particle creation is incorporated. Possible particle production due to collisions and collisional damping are neglected. The main result is a kinetic equation of non-Markovian character. In the low density approximation, the source term is reduced to the leading part of the well known Schwinger formula for the probability of pair creation. We discuss the momentum and time dependence of the derived source term and compare with other approaches.

Observing the change of the Hanle effect under the influence of a homogeneous electric field E the Stark effect of the (5p1/25d5/2)j=2-state in Sn I was studied. Due to the tensorial part β Jz2E2 in the Hamiltonian of the second order Stark effect the signal of the zero field crossing (M ∓ 2, M′ = 0 β ≷ 0 ) is shifted to the magnetic field H with gJμBH=2 | β | E2. From these shifts for different electric field strengths the value of the Stark parameter|β| = 0.21(2) MHz/(kV/cm)2 · gJ/1.13was deduced. A theoretical value of ß using Coulomb wave functions is discussed.

Abstract The viscosity of gaseous ammonia in the presence of a static homogeneous electric field is calculated using the Waldmann-Snider equation. Special attention is paid to the field dependence of the effect which is strongly influenced by molecular inversion. The latter causes a coupling of tensors of different rank in J in the expansion of the distribution matrix, thereby leading to an infinite set of equations which is solved numerically by a limiting procedure. The effect has a complicated dependence on pressure p and field E but to a good approximation turns out to depend on E/p a t pressures high with respect to an inversion pressure (about 5 atm for NH3, 300 torr for ND3) and, in agreement with the experiments, on E2/p at low pressures.
