    Electron tunneling probability between gold surfaces separated by distance L

    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...
