Which outcome results when the wave function in Scanning Tunneling Microscopy possesses oscillating eigenstates at an interface?

💡 Explanation

When wave functions yield oscillating eigenstates, wavefunction amplitude interference emerges because reflected wave superposition occurs which modifies transmission probabilities, reducing spatial resolution. Therefore, reduced spatial resolution results, rather than increased resolution, enhanced tunneling, or suppressed flow, which require constructive interference or coherent electron transport.
