11. In our estimate of the tunneling probability, we omit the pre-exponential factor in Eq. (6) which is due to the effect of multiple attempts of an electron to escape from the well. The exponent primarily determines the behavior of the probability as a function of (Formula presented) and (Formula presented). The weak dependence of this factor on (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) changes the results numerically but not qualitatively.
