单词 | tunnel effect |
释义 | tunnel effect An effect in which electrons are able to tunnel through a narrow potential barrier that would constitute a forbidden region if the electrons were treated as classical particles. That there is a finite probability of an electron tunnelling from one classically allowed region to another arises as a consequence of quantum mechanics. The effect is made use of in the tunnel diode. Alpha decay (see alpha particle) is an example of a tunnelling process |
