Under what energy circumstances does an electron tunnel through a potential barrier?
A |
when the potential energy is greater than the total energy |
B |
when the potential energy is less than the total energy |
C |
when the kinetic energy is greater than the potential energ |
tunneling takes place when the when the potential energy is greater than the total energy.
so the correct answer is
(A) when the potential energy is greater than the total energy.

1. Given the potential barrier shown, find the electron energy required for the tunneling probability to first reach 50%. [V_5eV, a-2nm] Note: The energy may be either less than or greater than the barrier height. You will want to use a graphical solution to find the answer. Plot T as a function of energy and find the lowest energy that crosses 0.5
Consider an electron with energy E in region I confined by a barrier with potential energy Vo and width W. Plot the probability that the electron “tunnels” through the barrier and ends up in Region III as a function of the barrier width for Vo = 1 eV and E = 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 0.9 eV. Also show the code for the plots.
4. An electron having total energy E 4.50 eV approaches a rectangular Energy energy barrier with U= 5.00 eV and L = 950 pm as shown. Classically, the electron cannot pass through the barrier because E < U. However, quantum mechanically the probability of tunneling is not zero. a) Calculate this probability, which is the transmission coefficient. b) By how much would the width L of the potential barrier have to change for the chance of an incident 4.50-eV electron...
