Bentosela, F.; Grecchi, Vincenzo Stark Wannier ladders. (English) Zbl 0743.35053 Commun. Math. Phys. 142, No. 1, 169-192 (1991). Summary: We study the Schrödinger equation for an electron in a one dimensional crystal submitted to a constant electric field. We prove the existence of ladders of resonances, the imaginary part of which is exponentially small with the field.
