Abstract
It is pointed out that sequential tunneling has, until now, been defined in two ways in the literature, and this has led to some confusion. It is shown that sequential tunneling defined as a two-step process is an alternative description of resonant tunneling, but not an alternative mechanism for it.Keywords
