Which process underlies current flow when applying voltage across nanoscale junctions?

💡 Explanation

Quantum tunnelling enables electrons to traverse even when the applied voltage is insufficient to overcome the potential barrier because wave functions have nonzero probability across the gap, therefore tunnelling drives the current rather than other mechanisms limited by gap voltage.
