Abstract
An experimental study of tunneling currents in thin multilayers of Al‐Al2O3 has been performed. Negative resistances are observed at 77 °K in a triple‐barrier structure. It is considered that these negative resistances are caused by the effect of resonant tunneling, compared to the theoretical consideration of quasistationary energy levels in such a structure.Keywords
