Abstract

We study the tunneling-current characteristics of a double-barrier resonant-tunneling diode connected to an electron reservoir. The dynamics of electrons in the reservoir is treated explicitly in the framework of the time-dependent density-functional theory. It is found that Coulomb correlations give rise to plasmon-assisted tunneling. © 1991 The American Physical Society.
