To the Theory of Electron Passage in a Semiconductor Structure Consisting of Alternating Asymmetric Rectangular Potential Wells and Barriers

  • Published:
Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

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.
