This thesis addresses the tunnelling of charge carriers in different materials. First looking at the simplest case of electron tunnelling in metals at zero, then finite temperature, the current is obtained using the Fermi-Dirac golden rule and then the conductance is obtained. T…

In the past few years, the field of molecular electronics and in particular, the development of new techniques for contacting and measuring single molecules, has emerged, providing new insights into this field. The relatively small size of a molecule, typically of the order of 1…

Major meat quality problems of three species are addressed. Fiber optics, electrical conductance, and image analysis were employed in the evaluation or prediction. (1) Evaluation of longissimus dorsi marbling in intact pork (n = 37) and beef (n = 10) carcasses with a fiber optic…
