Vorts, et.al.,
Been doin' some searching/reading on tunneling, and want to pass on this info. .. A theoretician (Boris Ivlev) has been developing a hypothesis. preprints and a few published in peer-reviewed journals, 23 papers since 2000. search results are at end of this msg. Also Russian papers about tunneling go back to the 80s, so he's been thinking about this for decades. Some interesting elements from the abstracts which caught my eye involve perpendicular magnetic fields, resonances with EM (RF), and below the barrier tunneling. The physics and math is way above my paygrade, but just want to pass along this info for those who can fully understand it. -Mark ====== start excerpts ================== "As a result, a significant fraction of the prebarrier density is carried away from the barrier providing a *not* exponentially small penetration even through an almost classical barrier. The total electron energy is well below the barrier." "A state of an electron in a quantum wire or a thin film becomes metastable, when a static electric field is applied perpendicular to the wire direction or the film surface. The state decays via tunneling through the created potential barrier. An additionally applied magnetic field, perpendicular to the electric field, can increase the tunneling decay rate for *many orders of magnitude*. This happens, when the state in the wire or the film has a velocity perpendicular to the magnetic field." "Under conditions of Euclidean resonance a long distance underbarrier motion is possible." "Quantum tunneling between two potential wells in a magnetic field can be *strongly increased* when the potential barrier varies in the direction *perpendicular* to the line connecting the two wells and remains constant along this line." "The extremely small probability of quantum tunneling through an almost classical potential barrier may become not small under the action of the specially adapted nonstationary field. The tunneling rate has a sharp peak as a function of the particle energy when it is close to the certain resonant value defined by the nonstationary field (Euclidean resonance)." ====== end excerpts ================== http://prc.aps.org/abstract/PRC/v69/i3/e037602 Showing results for au:ivlev 1. arXiv:1207.2357 [pdf, ps, other] Low-energy fusion caused by an interference, B.
