Description

It is shown that a large number of phenomena have been explained by the tunnel effect, in microscopic physics (field emission, α radioactivity) and in solid state physics (semiconductors and superconductors). New applications appear everyday as in electronics and in the study of matter

Abstract (French)

On montre que l'effet tunnel a permis d'expliquer un nombre considerable de phenomenes en physique microscopique (emission de champ, radioactivite alpha) et en physique du solide (semiconducteurs et supraconducteurs). De nouvelles applications surgissent encore aujourd'hui en electronique et dans l'etude des proprietes de la matiere
