  • Abstract
    This paper reviews briefly the tunneling mechanisms through a thin insulating barrier between two metals and mentions some device applications based on these mechanisms. Three different cases are described: tunneling between metals both in the normal (nonsuperconductive) state, tunneling between them when one or both are superconductive, and Josephson tunneling through a very thin barrier between superconductors.
