Homework Statement
Two copper conducting wires are separated by an insulating oxide layer. This layer acts as a square
barrier of height 10 eV. Estimate the transmission coefficient for penetration by 7 eV electrons (a) if the
layer thickness if 5 nm and (b) if the layer thickness is 1 nm
Homework Equations
I don't know. That is the problem.
The Attempt at a Solution
I don't even know where to start. I'm not asking for someone to do the problem for me. I just want a hint in the right direction. Thanks a lot!
