    How Much Energy Does an Electron Need to Tunnel Through a Barrier?

    Homework Statement An electron approaches a potential barrier 10eV high and 0.5nm wide. If the electron has a 1%chance of tunneling through, what must be its energy? Homework Equations Transmission probability = [C/A]^2= [ 1 + (U^2 sinh^2(mu alpha))/(4E(U-E))]^-1 where...
