Which mechanism causes spontaneous alloying when nanosized films contact?

💡 Explanation

Electron tunneling allows electrons to exist in classically forbidden regions, minimizing the total surface energy of the system, and favoring alloy formation. Therefore, electron tunneling contributes to alloying rather than vibrational, thermal, or entanglement-based effects.
