Tunnel Diode Characteristic Apparatus

Tunneling is an effect that is caused by quantum mechanical effects when electrons pass through a potential barrier. It can be visualized in very basic terms by them "tunneling" through the energy barrier. The tunneling only occurs under certain conditions. It occurs within tunnel diodes because of the very high doping levels employed. This kit is consist of (IN-3718) - A Tunnel Diode, Two Digital Meters. Milliammeter (200mA), & Milli voltmeter (2000mV.) Highly stabilized variable D.C. supply.
