Tunnel current equation
The current through the tunnel diode is: ![hi](https://electrical.codidact.com/uploads/X3rZocCeWWRAVZJMqf9EyuqD) where $I_{f}$ is the current from the Shockley diode equation and $I_{tunnel}$ is the tunnel current. Is there an expression for the tunnel current or is it found 'experimentally'?[]()
