Abstract
It is well known that in a process of Dynamic Resonant Tunneling, where the energy level of the quasi-bound state varies in time, the tunneling current can be drastically suppressed at specific energies. These energies obey a generic quantization rule (QR). However, these systems exhibit two types of current suppression. In the first type, the current vanishes completely, and in the second the current is suppressed but does not vanish. We investigate these two types of current suppression and their relations to the quantization rule.
