Which consequence results when a scanning tunneling microscope probe increases electron confinement?

💡 Explanation

Increased electron confinement in the tunneling junction causes amplified tunneling current via the principle of **quantum tunneling**, because spatial constraints reduce the potential barrier width. Therefore, tunneling probability exponentionally grows with confinement; rather than causing a loss of STM image resolution from diffraction.
