Electron barrier interaction in a vacuum tunneling probe
arXiv:1003.5047 · doi:10.1016/0375-9601(92)90868-M
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
