Total transparency in quantum tunneling of counterpropagating waves

Journal of Contemporary Physics (Armenian Academy of Sciences) Aims and scope

Abstract

The problem of quantum tunneling is considered for matter waves which are impinging on the potential barrier from both sides. Possibility of the total transmission of one of incident waves at the simultaneous total reflection of the other one is studied. The analysis is carried out for two essentially different, rectangular and bell-shaped, forms of the potential barrier.
