Description
English: Schematic representation of an electron (e, right) tunnelling through a barrier of "height" (vertical dimension is energy) e*V_b and thickness (horizontal dimension is spatial) d_b. e is the elementary charge, -1.6E-19 Coulomb, V is the bias voltage leading to a current flowing between the right and the left "electrode" (side of the barrier).
