In this situation, the voltage bias will cause electrons to tunnel between the tip and sample, creating a current that can be measured.

Due to the extreme sensitivity of tunnel current to height, proper vibration isolation or an extremely rigid STM body is imperative for obtaining usable results.

The current due to an applied voltage V ( assume tunneling occurs sample to tip ) depends on two factors: 1 ) the number of electrons between E < sub > f </ sub > and eV in the sample, and 2 ) the number among them which have corresponding free states to tunnel into on the other side of the barrier at the tip.

The exponential term in the above equations means that small variations in W greatly influence the tunnel current.

This rate should affect the tunnel current, so it can be treated using the Fermi's golden rule with the appropriate tunneling matrix element.

The initial phase includes the main terminal station, a permanent Concourse A station, a permanent Concourse B station, a permanent midfield concourse station ( with access to the current temporary C concourse via a tunnel with moving walkways ), and a maintenance facility.

:* Tunnelling current through gate oxide. SiO < sub > 2 </ sub > is a very good insulator, but at very small thickness levels electrons can tunnel across the very thin insulation ; the probability drops off exponentially with oxide thickness.

The number and arrangement of the points of the maple leaf were chosen after wind tunnel tests showed the current design to be the least blurry of the various designs when tested under high wind conditions.

Upon completion of the tunnel boring project, Crossrail will restore the tunnel to its current condition.

Plans for this extension include an eight kilometer bored tunnel from the current western terminus at Haussmann-St Lazare, with new stations at Porte Maillot, La Défense, and Nanterre-La Folie, and a connection to the SNCF Normandy line in or near Nanterre, the transfer of the current Line A Poissy service to Line E, and its further extension down the Seine valley to Mantes.

A fourth rail link ( Shatin to Central Link from Causeway Bay to Hung Hom ) and a fourth harbour-crossing tunnel are being planned in order to solve the congested traffic of the current tunnels in peak hours.

Under current plans, a tunnel will be built under the river, but no money has been allocated for its construction as of mid-2011, so there is no chance for it to be completed before 2015.

Under current arrangements, there are separate arrivals and departures platforms ; after arriving passengers disembark, the empty tram runs into a reversing siding in a tunnel, where it reverses and runs up to the departure platform.

Other potential arrangements include " Thermal Assisted Switching " ( TAS-MRAM ), which briefly heats up ( reminiscent of phase-change memory ) the magnetic tunnel junctions during the write process and keeps the MTJs stable at a colder temperature the rest of the time ; and " vertical transport MRAM " ( VMRAM ), which uses current through a vertical column to change magnetic orientation, a geometric arrangement that reduces the write disturb problem and so can be used at higher density.

* December – Freescale Semiconductor Inc. demonstrates an MRAM that uses magnesium oxide, rather than an aluminum oxide, allowing for a thinner insulating tunnel barrier and improved bit resistance during the write cycle, thereby reducing the required write current.

Some circuits and elements exhibiting negative resistance can also act in a similar way: negative impedance converters ( NIC ), neon lamps, tunnel diodes ( e. g., a diode with an " N "- shaped current – voltage characteristic in the first quadrant ), etc.

Newton Castle, home to the current chieftain of the Clan Macpherson, Sir William Macpherson, and Ardblair Castle, home to the Blair Oliphant family, both have Jacobite history and according to legend are connected by a secret tunnel.

The current design of a cane handle spliced into a willow blade was the invention in the 1880s of Charles Richardson, a pupil of Brunel and the first chief engineer of the Severn railway tunnel.

Today, the terminal is being planned for redevelopment as a region wide mass transit hub maintaining the current bus services, but with a new tunnel that would extend the Caltrain commuter rail line from its current terminus at Fourth and Townsend Streets to the site.

Plans to rectify the awkward alignment by building another tunnel parallel to the current westbound tunnel ( as originally intended when the westbound tunnel was proposed ) have been discussed for several years.

These cases in which light is already visible at the other end of the tunnel are ones which over the next few years will absorb the bulk of our capital assistance.

Below him, as if at the end of some remote tunnel, he heard the humming of a vacuum cleaner.

Large hotels were built during the Belle Époque ; cog-railways, built early in the 20th century, brought tourists to ever higher elevations, with the Jungfraubahn terminating at the Jungfraujoch after going through a tunnel in Eiger.

The crew entered the Lunar Module through the docking tunnel connecting it with the Command Module to inspect its systems, at which time they did not spot any major issues.

Prior to the tunnel being built, the LIRR's western terminus was Atlantic Street at Clinton Street.

While the tunnel was being built, the railroad operated to a temporary terminal at Pacific Street and Henry Street.

It might not be unprofitable, now and then, to send us mortals — the dissatisfied ones, at least, and that's a large proportion — into some tunnel of several days ' journey.

Having fallen from public notice, the tunnel was rediscovered in 1981 by then 18-year-old Robert " Bob " Diamond, who entered from a manhole he located at Atlantic Avenue and Court Street, crawled a distance of underground through a filled-in section of tunnel less than two feet high, and located the bulkhead wall that sealed off the main portion of the tunnel.

A replica of the Wright Brothers ' wind tunnel is on display at the Virginia Air and Space Center.

Approximately of the tunnel will run under the strait, at a depth of about.

This was not made publicly known to the media, but engineers at MIT ( volunteer students and professors ) performed several experiments and found serious problems with the tunnel.

The replacement work will be done at night, and will require lane closures or closing of the entire tunnel for safety, and may take up to 2 years to complete.

Immigration and customs checks are conducted at the platform exit tunnel for passengers leaving trains here.

The most modern, and at the same time the longest Croatian tunnel, is also along the A1: the Mala Kapela Tunnel ( length 5, 780 m ), which passes through the Mala Kapela mountain range.

* the Havana ring road (), which starts at a tunnel under the entrance to Havana Harbor

This included a staircase of 8 locks at Béziers, a tunnel and three major aqueducts.

The Channel Tunnel (; also referred to as the Chunnel ) is a undersea rail tunnel linking Folkestone, Kent, in the United Kingdom with Coquelles, Pas-de-Calais, near Calais in northern France beneath the English Channel at the Strait of Dover.

At, the Channel Tunnel possesses the longest undersea portion of any tunnel in the world, although the Seikan Tunnel in Japan is both longer overall at and deeper at below sea level.

To ensure that all aspects of the building's performance in strong winds will be acceptable, a detailed wind tunnel study was carried out by Professor Alan Davenport at the BLWT at the UWO.

Due to the high carrier concentration, tunnel diodes are very fast, may be used at low ( mK ) temperatures, high magnetic fields, and in high radiation environments.

This started with a shot from a " phantom ride " at the point at which the train goes into a tunnel, and continued with the action on a set representing the interior of a railway carriage, where a man steals a kiss from a woman, and then cuts back to the phantom ride shot when the train comes out of the tunnel.
