Electron barrier interaction in a vacuum tunneling probe

Quantum Physics 2015-05-18 v1 Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics

Abstract

A model for dealing with energy and momentum exchanges between ballistic electrons in a vacuum barrier in a tunneling probe used as an electromechanical transducer is studied and its physical significance in devices of size comparable to the mean free path of the tunneling electrons is discussed
