The calculation of the widths (rates) of tunneling of these vibrational levels has been accomplished recently via semiclassical 11 17 18] as well as quantum 11 19 20] theory. The calculations for He employed extremely accurate PES [1 2 3], since tunneling widths turn out to be very sensitive to the shape of the potential HI. This can be seen in the difference between our results on Be 117] and those of Bauschlicher and Rosi 118]. An important theoretical result from the work of refs 2, 19 and 20 is the fact that the quantum approach of Babb and Du 119] yields reliable results for widths of the order of 10 a.u., something which proved impossible in the case of numerical solution of the complex eigenvalue resonance equation satisfied by the decaying vibrational levels 11 20]. 

Consideration of tunnel dimensions is critical for the reflow application. Short tunnel ovens may not permit a profile adequate for attaining prescribed reflow temperature-versus-time profiles for larger, thermally massive PCB assemblies. Tunnel height dimensions must also be adequate to accommodate the tallest components or component heat sinks. Tunnel width will limit the size of the board that can be introduced to it. 

Oven Heaters. Each heater s thermal output is sensed via a thermocouple, which is used to close the loop to the heater controller. In larger, production-worthy systems, heaters are located both above and below the plane of the circuit board and are at least as wide as the conveyor. Thermal uniformity across a 60 cm tunnel width can be better than 2°C on top-of-the-line ovens. This is a function of the tunnel insulation, heater performance, heater control, and convective mixing of the heated air or gas.

Flexible foams are resiUent open-ceU stmctures with densities varying from 25—650 kg/m, depending on the choice of the raw materials. Most flexible foams are produced in the form of a slab or bun in a contiauous process in widths up to 2.4 m and thicknesses up to 1.2 m. A Hquid foamable mixture is pumped onto a conveyor, which moves through a tunnel where reaction and foaming occur (101). Similar mixtures can be placed in a mold and allowed to foam. This process is used in the manufacture of automobile seats (see Foamed plastics). 

From the very simple WKB considerations it is clear that the tunneling rate is proportional to the Gamov factor exp —2j[2(F(s(0) — )] ds, where s Q) is a path in two dimensions Q= 61)62 ) connecting the initial and flnal states. The most probable tunneling path , or instanton, which renders the Gamov factor maximum, represents a compromise of two competing factors, the barrier height and its width. That is, one has to optimise the instanton path not only in time, as has been done in the previous section, but also in space. This complicates the problem so that numerical calculations are usually needed. 

Under high applied electric fields, electrons can surmount a potential barrier even at very low temperatures. This process is based on field-induced tunneling of the charge carriers across potential barrier. The probability for the tunneling depends strongly on the height and the width of the potential barrier. 

As this first example indicates, experiments involving superlattices have an additional complication compared to the ADQW treated previously. In the ADQW, essentially all quantities of interest can be calculated analytically. The well widths and barriers widths are designed such that the electronic levels move into tunneling resonance at a value of the DC field sufficient to immobilize the holes. This is not guaranteed to be the case in superlattices, where the electronic levels display a complicated pattern of repulsion and anticrossing as the DC field is varied. In addition, as shown...
