Polymer dielectric breakdown mechanism resolved: physicists at Russia's Ioffe Institute confirmed quantum tunneling drives electrical failure in PET film, not electron collision. New lifetime ...
Tunneling is one of most fundamental processes in quantum mechanics, where the wave packet could traverse a classically insurmountable energy barrier with a certain probability. Photoelectron ...
Coulomb blockade is a phenomenon in which the flow of electrons through a nanostructure, such as a quantum dot or a single-electron transistor, is restricted due to the electrostatic repulsion between ...
Light-induced ultrafast electron dynamics significantly impacts the fundamental processes in nature, such as molecular bond breaking and formation, chemical reactions, and biological metabolism.
