Tunneling Conductivity

Tunneling Conductivity is a quantum mechanical phenomenon in conductive materials wherein electrical current flows across an insulating barrier through the non-classical penetration of charge carriers via wavefunction overlap, distinguished from classical conduction mechanisms by its exponential dependence on barrier width and height.
