Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 181301 (2007) [4 pages]Overspinning a Nearly Extreme Charged Black Hole via a Quantum Tunneling ProcessReceived 29 May 2007; published 1 November 2007 We examine a nearly extreme macroscopic Reissner-Nördstrom black hole in the context of semiclassical gravity. The absorption rate associated with the quantum tunneling process of scalar particles whereby this black hole can acquire enough angular momentum to violate the weak cosmic-censorship conjecture is shown to be nonzero. © 2007 The American Physical Society URL:
