Theory of Tunneling and its Dependence on a Longitudinal Magnetic Field

摘要: A theory of interband tunneling due to a constant electric field is presented which free certain objections previous theories. It shown that the expression for Zener current has new terms oscillatory in field, reflect Stark quantization longitudinal motion electron. pointed out sufficiently small fields, probability itself an function field. The effect magnetic on calculated class substances. InSb considered detail. Effects spin-orbit interaction and nonparabolicity energy bands are taken into account.
