Exploring the non-equilibrium fluctuation relation for quantum mechanical tunneling of electrons across a modulating barrier
We study the validity of the fluctuation relation for a non-equilibrium quantum mechanical system, viz., electrons quantum mechanically tunneling across a periodically modulating barrier. Experimentally this system is realized by measuring the fluctuation in the tunneling current between an STM tip...
