Tunneling Conduction

Tunneling Conduction is a quantum mechanical charge transport mechanism in which electrons traverse a potential barrier by tunneling through it rather than overcoming it, typically occurring in amorphous electronic materials, ceramics, and thin dielectric films at nanoscale thicknesses where classical conduction models fail to explain observed current-voltage characteristics.
