A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is a powerful tool for imaging the surface of a material down to individual atoms with high resolution. Determine by what factor the tunneling current increase if the nickel atom has a height of 0.032 nm and its work function is Φw= 5.15 eV. The barrier's width is 0.41 nm.
