All the tools & learning materials you need for study success - in one app.
Get started for freea. What is the probability that an electron will tunnel through aair gap from a metal to a STM probe if the work function is ?
b. The probe passes over an atom that is“tall.” By what factor does the tunneling current increase?
c. If a current change is reliably detectable, what is the smallest height change the STM can detect?
For a particle in a finite potential well of width L and depth , what is the ratio of the probability Prob ( in at ) to the probability Prob ( in at)?
For the quantum-well laser of Figure 40.16, estimate the probability that an electron will be found within one of the GaAlAs layers rather than in the GA As layer. Explain your reasoning.
Four quantum particles, each with energy E, approach the potential-energy barriers seen in FIGURE Q40.8 from the left. Rank in order, from largest to smallest, the tunneling probabilities
