A certain subset of periodic orbits are identified which are nearly stable over a very large interval of variation of the classical dynamics; only this subset are found to exhibit strong scarring. Semiclassical arguments shed further light on why these orbits dominate the experimentally observed tunneling spectra.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1997-05-16T16:54:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "tilted magnetic field", "quantum wells", "strong scarring", "wavefunctions", "classical dynamics" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
