Which outcome occurs when approaching the cut-off frequency of quantum mechanical electron tunneling?

A)Increased nuclear spin decoherence occurs
B)Resonant tunneling effects are amplified
C)Transmission probability exponentially decreases
D)Orbital hybridization becomes energetically favorable

💡 Explanation

As the tunneling frequency components exceed the barrier's ability to support tunneling, the Transmission probability exponentially decreases due to wavefunction attenuation within the barrier; therefore, less tunneling occurs rather than amplified resonance or spin decoherence, because the process is limited the properties of the wave equation.
