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...
