(b)
To determine
To show: The condition has no solution for zero separation between the two barriers and the reason why.
(c)
To determine

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)
