We extend the well-known tunneling picture of a scalar tunneling barrier into the relativistic domain, that is where the laser’s magnetic field becomes non-negligible and, therefore, requiring a non-zero vector potential. Going beyond the quasistatic WKB approximation and employing numerical methods allows us to identify two time scales of relativistic tunneling, the typical time that characterizes the probability density’s decay of the ionizing electron under the barrier (Keldysh time) and the time interval which the electron spends inside the barrier (Eisenbud-Wigner-Smith tunneling time) [1]. Finally, we will consider spin effects in tunnel ionization [2] and demonstrate distinct spin dynamics in the relativistic Kapitza-Dirac effect [3] and for electrons moving in strong circularly polarized laser fields.
