In addition to the topics already discussed there are a number of other physicochemical phenomena which are believed to be significantly affected by the tunnelling of species other than the electron. Three of these will be described briefly here: electrode processes, particularly hydrogen discharge; solid state properties, including the diffusion of hydrogen in metals; and biological implications.
