Conductance and exchange coupling of two ferromagnets separated by a tunneling barrier

JC Slonczewski - Physical Review B, 1989 - APS
A theory is given for three closely related effects involving a nonmagnetic electron-tunneling
barrier separating two ferromagnetic conductors. The first is Julliere's magnetic valve effect …

Electron counting statistics and coherent states of electric current

LS Levitov, H Lee, GB Lesovik - Journal of Mathematical Physics, 1996 - pubs.aip.org

Barrier interaction time in tunneling

R Landauer, T Martin - Reviews of Modern Physics, 1994 - APS
Over sixty years ago, it was suggested that there is a time associated with the passage of a
particle under a tunneling barrier. The existence of such a time is now well accepted; in fact …

Measurement of the single-photon tunneling time

AM Steinberg, PG Kwiat, RY Chiao - Physical Review Letters, 1993 - APS
Using a two-photon interferometer, we have measured the time delay for a photon to tunnel
across a barrier consisting of a 1.1-μm-thick 1D photonic band-gap material. The peak of the …
