In the 28 Nov. Phys. Rev. Letters Robert Jaklevic and John Lambe of the Ford Scientific Laboratory report changes in the conductance of tunnel diodes caused by the excitation of molecular vibrations in impurities at the diode junction. This effect may be useful as a probe of the detailed surface structure of junction interfaces. Possibly it also will be useful in tunnel‐diode technology.
