In a talk given in 1931 and published in Phys. Z. 32, 833 (1931), Walter Schottky referred to the wellenmechanische Tunneleffekt (wavemechanical tunnel effect) at the metal-semiconductor interface. I found the first English use of the term “tunnel effect” in J. Frenkel, Wave Mechanics, Elementary Theory, Clarendon Press, Oxford, UK (1932). To this day, Frenkel’s rarely cited textbook provides one of the most comprehensive theoretical accounts of quantum tunneling.
