Reflection and Transmission Times Through a Linear Potential

International Journal of Theoretical Physics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Reflection and transmission times through a linear potential is studied by using the stationary phase method. The incident particle is described by a wave packet constructed from a momentum distribution δ(k′ − k) highly concentrated around a fixed value k. The way the reflection and transmission times are calculated is similar to the way the phase time τϕ is defined for a rectangular potential.
