Abstract:Abstract. In electron tunneling (ET) along the boundary of two media with different high-frequency dielectric permittivities, the energy gap for the tunneling electron is affected by image forces. Macromolecules and macromolecular structures contain segments possessing different permittivities. Therefore, in any description of ET one must take image forces into account. Here, the spatial form of donor-acceptor ET through bridged molecular groups situated near macromolecular segments is investigated. It is show… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
