Which outcome results from mismatched wave function symmetry?

💡 Explanation

Suppressed tunneling arises from wave function interactions; destructive ‘interference’ reduces amplitude at potential barriers when wave functions are antisymmetric about these surfaces because the Transmission Probability becomes very low. Therefore tunneling drops, rather than enhancement or altered nuclear and thermal properties.
