Generalized Formula for the Electric Tunnel Effect between Similar Electrodes Separated by a Thin Insulating Film
TL;DR: In this article, a formula for the electric tunnel effect through a potential barrier of arbitrary shape existing in a thin insulating film was derived for a rectangular barrier with and without image forces, where the true image potential was considered and compared to the approximate parabolic solution derived by Holm and Kirschstein.
