Which mechanism explains electron flow across oxide layers?

💡 Explanation

Quantum tunneling allows electron passage even when electrons lack energy to surmount a potential barrier, because electrons have a non-zero probability of existing on the other side; therefore tunneling occurs, rather than requiring high energy or structural defects.
