Light Emission from Inelastic Electron Tunneling
Abstract
We report the discovery of a new method for the generation of light. This technique yields a broad-band light source with a high frequency linear cutoff which is dependent only upon the applied voltage through the quantum relation $h{\ensuremath{\nu}}_{\mathrm{co}}=|\mathrm{eV}|$. The light source consists of a metal-insulator-metal tunneling junction. The effect can be interpreted in terms of inelastic tunneling excitation of optically coupled surface plasmon modes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
