Consider an electron with energy E in region I confined by a barrier with potential energy Vo and width W. Plot the probability that the electron “tunnels” through the barrier and ends up in Region III as a function of the barrier width for Vo = 1 eV and E = 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 0.9 eV. Also show the code for the plots.

4. An electron having total energy E 4.50 eV approaches a rectangular Energy energy barrier with U= 5.00 eV and L = 950 pm as shown. Classically, the electron cannot pass through the barrier because E < U. However, quantum mechanically the probability of tunneling is not zero. a) Calculate this probability, which is the transmission coefficient. b) By how much would the width L of the potential barrier have to change for the chance of an incident 4.50-eV electron...
