← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when electrons approach a nanoscale tunnel junction?
A)Tunneling creates interference-driven current oscillation✓
B)Thermal energy enables dielectric breakdown
C)Increased gate voltage raises resistance
D)Coulomb blockade confines single electrons
💡 Explanation
If the width of junction small enough then quantum tunneling occurs, as electrons pass through the barrier even without sufficient energy because of the wave nature of electrons; therefore, this creates oscillations, rather than blockade, because high frequency interference emerges.
