The resonant tunneling phenomenon is well understood in quantum mechanics. We argue why a similar phenomenon must be present in quantum field theory. We then use the functional Schr\"odinger method to show how resonant tunneling through…
We consider the effect of electron correlations on tunneling from a 2D electron layer in a magnetic field parallel to the layer. A tunneling electron can exchange its momentum with other electrons, which leads to an exponential increase of…

We derive a semiclassical quantization for a spin, study it for not too small a spin quantum number (S>5), and compute the 2S+1 eigenvalues of a Hamiltonian exhibiting resonant tunnelling as the magnetic field parallel to the anisotropy…
We compute tunneling in a quantum field theory in 1+1 dimensions for a field potential $U(\Phi)$ of the asymmetric double well type. The system is localized initially in the ``false vacuum''. We consider the case of a {\em compact space}…
We study the small singular values of the $2$-dimensional semiclassical differential operator $P = 2\,\mathrm{e}^{-\phi/h}\circ hD_{\overline{z}}\circ \mathrm{e}^{\phi/h}$ on $S^1+iS^1$ and on $S^1+i\mathbb{R}$ where $\phi$ is given by…
We theoretically study a tunneling effect in a two-dimensional Dirac semimetal with two Dirac points protected by non-symmorphic symmetries. The tunnel barrier can be arranged by a magnetic exchange potential which opens a gap at the Dirac…
We compute the sum and number of eigenvalues for a certain class of magnetic Schrodinger operators in a domain with boundary. Functions in the domain of the operator satisfy a (magnetic) Robin condition. The calculations are valid in the…

We show that, in a magnetic field parallel to the 2D electron layer, strong electron correlations change the rate of tunneling from the layer exponentially. It results in a specific density dependence of the escape rate. The mechanism is a…
In this continuation paper we will address the problem of tunneling. We will show how to settle this phenomenon within our classical interpretation. It will be shown that, rigorously speaking, there is no tunnel effect at all.
We study the bias-dependent spin-transfer torque in magnetic tunnel junctions in the Stoner model by scattering theory. We show that the in-plane (Slonczewski type) torque vanishes and subsequently reverses its direction when the bias…
