Mike2, your issue is epistemological.
In general, the lifetime of a theory in physics is built in the following path:
1/-You make a few observations in the physical world. These observations may not be clearly related to each other in a straightforward way.
2/-You think of a theory...
[completion of the above post]
I think that the highly formal aspect of 20th and 21th centuries physics must convince us to give up any attempt to reach any underlying philosophical or "who knows what" interpretation of physics.
Quantum mechanics are effective in giving satisfactory agreement...
Most people who are confused with the interpretation of quantum physics are asking the wrong questions. I think that a brief glance at the history of physics in general from the 16th century to 21th century could help them have another view of physics.
Physics has evolved over the centuries...
Hi Everybody,
Does anybody know how to solve, analytically or numerically, the following differential equation :
\frac{d^2\Phi}{dx^2}-a.Sinh(\frac{\Phi}{U_{th}})=-b.Exp(-(\frac{x-x_{m}}{\sigma})^2})
The unknown function is \Phi.
a and b are some strictly positive constants.
q\Phi is...
Thank u Zz.
What are you doing?
Which field of physics?
I am finishing my PhD dissertation entitled:
"Modeling and Study of Tunnel oxide degradation of EEPROM Cells".
I will defend it on December 17th, 2004.
I've got a lot of work.
It's 7p.m. in Marseilles.
Gotta go home Now.
See...
Thank u for your answer.
I have already been checking this site.
The derivation described there only gives you
the tunneling probability T(E) but does NOT give the FULL derivation
of the current density J_{FN}.
The one thing which really puzzles me is:
where does F^2 come from in the...
Hi everybody,
I study solid-state electronics, more precisely electron Fowler-Nordheim tunneling across the gate oxide of a Silicon-Oxide-Silicon capacitor.
I need help on the physics of electron tunneling across a triangular barrier.
It will be part of my PhD dissertation. I have been...
