Quantum uncertainty effect in tunneling
1991
It is shown that electron tunneling from a very narrow tip should be effected, in an essential manner, by the quantum uncertainty in its transverse momentum induced by the confinement in the tip. This effect produces a strong asymmetry in the current-voltage characteristics of the tunnel junction, and to other unusual consequences. Different manifestations of the effect of the quantum uncertainty principle are analyzed.
