Which tunneling probability change accompanies a narrower barrier distance in a tunnel diode?

💡 Explanation

Decreasing the barrier width dramatically increases quantum tunneling because the probability decays exponentially with width reduction according to the Transmission coefficient. Therefore tunneling increases exponentially rather than linearly or stabilizing because of wave mechanics penetration of the potential.
