How to block tunneling current?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on methods to block tunneling current, specifically exploring barrier dimensions, geometry, and chemical properties. Participants suggest that magnetic impurities could induce the Kondo effect to scatter tunneled electrons. Additionally, unconventional methods such as biological and chemical agents, including Neroli Oil, are mentioned as potential influences on quantum tunneling. The conversation highlights the complexity of controlling tunneling current beyond traditional physical barriers.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum tunneling principles
  • Familiarity with barrier dimensions and their effects

Dear forum members
How to block tunneling current?
Apart from barrier dimensions like height and thickness are there any other options? Say barrier geometry or chemical property, maybe some magnetic impurity to induce Kondo effect and scatter the tunneled electrons.
Thank you in advance

I could think of loads of things and they're all biological or chemical.

The common cold is pretty good at knocking out the quantum tunnelling that happens in the nose. Anaesthetics knock out any tunneling happening in quantum consciousness. I have this stuff called 'Neroli Oil' that stops 'thinking' yet not consciousness.

I'm not sure if this is the information you were looking for though.
