Electronic Angular Tunneling Effect
In this article we show that the probability for an electron tunneling a rectangular potential barrier depends on its angle of incidence measured with respect to the normal line. The majority of the studies in the field consider a one-dimensional tunneling of an electron of mass in a potential bar...

| Summary: | In this article we show that the probability for an electron tunneling a rectangular potential barrier depends on its angle of incidence measured with respect to the normal line. The majority of the studies in the field consider a one-dimensional tunneling of an electron of mass in a potential barrier along the -axis. Using a two-dimensional approach, we observed that the angle of incidence of the electron influences the probability of tunneling.
