    Finding the Optimal Distance for Electron Tunneling in Gold

    Homework Statement The work function (energy needed to remove an electron) of gold is 5.1 eV. Two pieces of gold (at the same potential) are separated by a distance L. For what value of L will the transmission probability for an electron to cross from one to the other be T≈ 10-3? Assume that G...
