Relativistic tunneling through two "transparent" successive barriers

MASSIMO GERMANO

In the case of tunneling of relativistic particles, differently from the nonrelativistic case, a limit of "transparent" barrier can also lead to an apparent "superluminal" behavior when considering the phase time. In this limit, the restricting condition of "opaque" barrier of the nonrelativistic case is avoided, nevertheless, the very thin width of a single barrier to obtain this ?transparent? limit can result in a problem itself, for probing the effect. A combination of two successive transparent barriers can show an apparent "superluminal" behavior along a macroscopic arbitrary distance "L". Two solutions for energy E above and below the potential square barrier V are found, for both solutions there the apparent superluminal behavior is possible above a threshold of free travelling group velocity (energy) and dependent on the ratio barriers length free path as function of the ratio group velocity - speed of light.

Quantum Transparency of Barriers and Reflection from Wells for Clusters of Identical Particles

Ochbadrakh Chuluunbaatar, Sergue Il'ich Vinitsky, Alexander A. Gusev +2 more

A method for solving the problem of quantum transmission through potential barriers or potential wells for a compound system consisting of several identical particles coupled via pair oscillator-type potentials in the oscillator representation of the symmetrized coordinates is considered. The efficiency of the proposed approach, algorithms and programs is demonstrated by the examples of calculation of complex energy values and analysis of metastable states of compound systems of two, three, and four identical particles on a straight line, which lead to the effect of quantum transparency of the potential barriers or quantum reflection from the wells.
