Quantum tunneling composites (QTCs) are a class of materials that exhibit quantum tunneling properties. Quantum tunneling is a phenomenon in which particles can pass through barriers that they would otherwise be unable to penetrate. This is due to the wave-particle duality of matter, which means that particles can behave both like waves and like particles.
When a particle behaves like a wave, it can spread out and pass through a barrier even if it does not have enough energy to do so as a particle. This is because the wavefunction of the particle can extend beyond the barrier, and the particle can "tunnel" through the barrier via a process known as Zener tunneling.
QTCs are made by combining two different materials, one of which is a metal and the other of which is an insulator. The metal is typically gold, silver, or copper, while the insulator can be a variety of materials, such as aluminum oxide, titanium dioxide, or silicon dioxide.
The metal and insulator layers in a QTC are typically very thin, on the order of nanometers (billionths of a meter). This allows the electrons in the metal to tunnel through the insulator layer, even though they do not have enough energy to do so as particles.
QTCs have a number of unique properties that make them promising for a variety of applications in electronics and energy storage. These properties include:
QTCs are still a relatively new material, but they have the potential to revolutionize a number of industries. They are already being used in a variety of applications, including:
