Consider a particle encountering a barrier with potential U = U.>0 between x = -a and x = a with incoming energy E > U. a) Write the symbolic wave functions before and after passing through the barrier (i.e., for x<-a and x>a; regions I and III). U1 b) Write down the Schrodinger equation for the wave function in the middle (region II) where the potential is non-zero i.e., where -a<x<a; region II). c) What solution would you try for...

Problem 16.1 P16.1 In this problem, you will calculate the transmission probability through the barrier illustrated in Figure 16.10. We first go through the mathematics leading to the solution. You will then carry out further calculations. The domain in which the calculation is carried out is divided into three regions for which the potentials are Aetikx + Be-ikx Region I ψ(x)-cexpFPWh-x] - 1 V(x) =0 for x 0 V(x) = Vo for 0 < x < a V(x) =0 for...
In class we considered quantum tunneling of a particle of energy Eo through a barrier of potential Vofor Vo > Eo. Here we focus on two aspects of the problem we ignored in class. In order to simplify we will only consider the initial first half of the barrier as shown below RegionI xS0 Regionx 20 Il There are two cases to consider: Eo< Vo Considered in class E>Vo Not considered in class Here we will focus on the second...
