Definition: Quantum Tunneling Effect is a quantum mechanical process where particles penetrate through a barrier that they classically would not be able to cross. This intriguing phenomenon plays a ...

Quantum Tunneling can now be explained by the very small amplitude of the electron wave that moves past the energy barrier. The presence of some of the wave on the other side of the barrier ...

In my previous article, I have briefly introduced the physics of the quantum tunneling behavior in NeoPUF. In this article, I will explain, in detail, the quantum-tunneling mechanism in the gate oxide ...

Quantum tunnelling can at times be the cause of kinetic isotope effects, and in these cases conventional wisdom has been that molecules with isotopes of larger mass will react more slowly.

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is an experimental technique based on the principles of quantum tunneling of electrons between two electrodes separated by a potential barrier, typically used for ...

Interfacial anisotropy is enhanced by increasing the number of CoFeB/MgO layers. (Image: Butsurin Jinnai and Shunsuke Fukami, Tohoku University) The key phenomenon that enables the operation of tunnel ...

Where do you see patterns in chaos? It has been proven, in the incredibly tiny quantum realm, by an international team co-led ...

However, the conducting mechanism in ultra-thin gate oxide is quite different. The main conducting mechanism is quantum tunneling in the ultra-thin gate oxide. Classic mechanics predict that particles ...

Recently, researchers at the Technion Faculty of Physics in Israel achieved a controlled transfer of atoms from one place to another via quantum tunneling between optical tweezers. “This is the first ...

D-Wave special quantum computing has a unique quantum tunneling effect that can jump out of the local extremes that ...
