SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the relationship between distance and temperature on tunneling current, emphasizing that the distance/current relationship is an exponential function. Participants recommend reviewing articles from reputable journals such as Reviews of Modern Physics, Nuclear Instruments and Methods B, and Review of Scientific Instruments to gather theoretical insights. These resources are essential for understanding the temperature effects on tunneling current before conducting experiments.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of tunneling current principles
  • Familiarity with exponential functions in physics
  • Knowledge of Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM)
  • Access to scientific journals and articles
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the temperature effects on tunneling current in Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM)
  • Review articles from Reviews of Modern Physics for theoretical insights
  • Explore Nuclear Instruments and Methods B for experimental methodologies
  • Investigate the Review of Scientific Instruments for practical applications
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, physicists, and students studying quantum mechanics, particularly those interested in tunneling phenomena and experimental physics.

Hi, I'm studying the effect of distance and temperature on tunneling current and I need to find information about it before... so if you guys can point me out links or articles... or just tell me what you guys know about it... I know the distance/current is an exponential function but I can't find anything else and I need to hand in theory before doing the expirements..

thank you in advance
 
Physics news on Phys.org
look up review articles on STM. I bet someone has studied the temperature effects. check rev. mod. phys., nucl. inst. meth. b and rev. sci. inst. for example.
