Propagation of electron waves in a medium, whose properties vary only along a certain direction, is theoretically studied. The approach is based on the use of the single-electron stationary Schrödinger equation for the description of elastic scattering processes, including tunneling, of non-interacting spinless particles while maintaining their total energy.
