As seen in figure 1a and 1b, at a certain electron energy and applied bias resonant conditions are met and the transmission probability spikes in value. Changing the voltage in figure 1a and the electron energy in figure 1b has the effect of shifting the region in which resonance occurs. In this respect, RTD's are tunable to the required application. Using the Landauer formalism, the transmission probability can be used in equation 2 to solve for current.
