ТУННЕЛИРОВАНИЕ ЧЕРЕЗ ГЛАДКИЙ ПАРАБОЛИЧЕСКИЙ ДВОЙНОЙ БАРЬЕР

Ágnes Baran, V. V. Kudryashov

The exact description of tunneling is given for a smooth symmetric double barrier which is constructed with the help of both parabolic and inverted parabolic potentials. The analytical expression for transmission coefficient is found. The resonant tunneling condition is obtained. The dependence of transmission coefficient on incident particle energy is presented for different values of double barrier parameters. It is established that the number of resonances increases with growing the width of barriers and the distance between barriers. The continuous wave functions are expressed in terms of the confluent hypergeometric functions. The real and imaginary components of wave functions are shown at the resonance values of energy. The proposed smooth parabolic potential extends a very limited list of exactly solvable models that describe tunneling through double barriers. The variable shape of the considered double barrier gives the supplementary possibilities to simulate tunneling processes.
