Abstract

The evolution and collapse of electron resonances and their spectral parameters in a symmetric three-barrier resonant tunneling structure (TBRTS) are studied theoretically. The resonance energy and width of the quasi-stationary states of an electron are analyzed. The quasi-stationary states are calculated by the transmission coefficient method, the method of the probability distribution function (the probability of finding an electron in a TBRTS), and the scattering cross section method.
