Lab 63: Quantum Tunneling – Through the Barrier, Beyond the Veil

🧭 Objective#

To explore quantum tunneling phenomena using a reproducible analog circuit and triadic mapping of barrier, particle, and field.


🧪 Materials#

  • Tunnel diode (e.g., 1N3716 or equivalent)
  • DC power supply (0–5V)
  • Oscilloscope
  • Breadboard and resistors
  • Optional: RF signal generator

🛠️ Procedure#

  1. Build a simple circuit with the tunnel diode in series with a resistor.
  2. Sweep input voltage and observe negative resistance region.
  3. Record current-voltage (I–V) characteristics.
  4. Optional: Apply RF signal and observe modulation effects.

📐 Triadic Mapping#

  • Object: Tunnel diode
  • Attribute: Bias voltage, doping profile
  • Condition: Temperature, signal input
