Abstract
We review two classically-forbidden processes that give rise to prominent s tructures in atomic photoabsorption spectra. In one, the electron undergoes classically-forbidden reflection above a potential-energy barrier. In the other, absorption occurs into a classically-forbidden region of the electro n's motion.
