• Two copper nanowires are insulated by a
copper oxide nano-layer that provides a 10.0-
eV potential barrier. Estimate the tunnelling
probability between the nanowires by 7.00-eV

The alpha particle, whose mass is m = 6.64 x 10^(-27) kg, remains attached to the nucleus due to a strong interaction with the other nuclear constituents (nucleons) which overcomes the electrostatic repulsion between them, resulting in a graph of potential energy shown in figure A, where R is the range of the strong force and is of the order of the nuclear radius. However, note that there may be states for the alpha particle with energy E > 0 that can “tunnel” the Coulomb potential barrier. Consider a one-dimensional approximation for the potential energy well of an alpha particle in a 15 fm wide Uranium core (equivalent to the core diameter), in which the Coulomb barrier was modeled as a 20 fm wide rectangular barrier and 30 MeV high (see figure B).
