20. The experimental data of the barrier’s width and height given by Haraichi et al. (Ref. 5) are calculated from (formula presented), which is only valid for low and intermediate voltages. In Fig. 11, we have used the more precise (formula presented). The two formulas for the current are found in Ref. 7.
