SUMMARY
In the presence of a magnetic field atomic ions are shown to
generate monochromatic radiation with the frequency W=Q B/M,
depending on the field strength B and the ion mass M and charge Q.
The effect is a consequence of the interaction of the bound electrons with
the oscillating field of the Stark term coupling the center-of-mass and
electronic motions of the ion. The radiation intensity may exceed the
intensity of the continuous synchrotron radiation at some $B$ and the ion
velocities $V$.
