Suppose that an STM scans a surface at a distance of a = 1.500 nm.
Take the height of the potential energy barrier to be U0 − E = 1.70 eV.
If the distance between the surface and the STM tip decreases by (5.68x10^0)% estimate the percentage change in the tunneling current.
(Here is how you should enter your answer:
if the change is 5% write 5.00 and if 20.7% write 20.7 and so on)
(a) What is the separation in energy between the lowest two energy levels for a container 20 cm on a side containing argon atoms?

(b) At 300 K, to the nearest power of ten, what is the ratio of the thermal energy of the atoms to this energy separation? (c) At what temperature does the thermal energy equal the energy separation?

tered at such energy that only s and p waves need be considered. If the differential cross-section o (0)

phase shifts? What is the value oftotal cross-section in terms ofa, b, c?
