Abstract

We have derived an exact analytic solution for the electric field and time dependence of the survival fraction in the one-dimensional trapping problem. The intermediate- and long-time behavior is discussed below and above a threshold region of the electric field strength. The mean decay rate is given as a function of trap concentration and electric field strength.
