Abstract

The barrier penetration in the case of E=U0 has not been discussed in the current textbook of quantum mechanics.It's unreasonable to make a substitution of EU0(or EU0) for E=U0 priviously.In this paper,the penetration coefficient for the case of E=U0 is directly obtained with the help of two distinct methods.

Barrier Theory Based on Half-barrier Penetration

John Heading

Special methods are investigated for. the calculation of reflection and transmission coefficients for a real symmetric potential barrier. These methods, involving half-barrier penetration only, are both of physical and mathematical interest, and they also afford a considerable saving in time when numerical procedures are necessary in the case of analytically nonsoluble models.

One-dimensional barrier penetration

Yujun Zheng

Quantum tunneling is a very important quantum phenomenon in quantum mechanics.The question of one-dimensio na l barrier penetration is studied in this paper.Three different forms ofthe res u lts,namely,differences of the energy of the particle,EV0,EV0 and E=V0,can be unified by employing effective barrier.Some physical phe n omena about one-dimensional barrier penetration are discussed in the extreme co nditions.

Quantum mechanical penetration through multiple barriers

Y S T Rao, K Pappootty, C Radhakrishnan

The authors illustrate the interesting results of particle penetration through multiple potential barriers with the use of rectangular barriers. They show that complete transmission is possible through any number of barriers even at energies well below the barrier top. The tedious algebra is much simplified through the use of Pauli matrices.

A numerical study of quantum barrier penetration in one dimension

Charles W. Leming, Andrew Van Smith

Elementary numerical methods are used to evaluate solutions to Schrödinger’s equation for a variety of one-dimensional potential barriers and to determine the transmission coefficients of free particles. These techniques are used to study the oscillatory variations in transmission coefficients for both continuous and discontinuous potentials. The amplitude of the variations is found to be strongly increased by discontinuities in the potential function but small variations exist even for a smooth, continuous potential function. The techniques described are suitable for intermediate-level undergraduate physics students.
