Particle tunneling and scattering in a three-dimensional potential with a barrier

  • Research Article
  • Published:
Central European Journal of Physics

Abstract

The particle tunneling through a 3-D rectangular potential barrier has been studied. The simplest model for multiple internal reflections has been assumed. The explicit expression for all the transmission and reflection probability amplitudes have been derived, as well as the tunneling and reflection phase times.
