U0 Quantum PhysicsParticle in 1D box - Finite PotentialScrödinger Equation Inside: V(x) = 0 Outside: V(x) = U0 The solutions and it’s derivative must match at the boundary
Quantum PhysicsTunneling - Def Outside: V(x) = 0 Inside: V(x) = U0 Tunneling probability T that the particle gets through the barrier is proportional to the square of the ratio of the amplitudes of the sinusoidal wave function on the two sides of the barrier.
Quantum PhysicsTunneling - Example - Electron A 2.0 eV electron encounters a barrier 5.0 eV heigh. What is the probability that it will tunnel through the barrier if the barrier width is a) 1.00 nm b) 0.50 nm ? a) b)
