Which consequence results when a nanoscale tunnel junction is contaminated?

💡 Explanation

Contamination introduces an insulating layer, increasing the potential barrier width; therefore, **quantum tunneling** is exponentially suppressed, decreasing the tunneling probability and increasing resistance, because the thinner barrier is blocked rather than causing alternative effects.
