Abstract
Transmission probabilities of the scattering problem with a position dependent mass are studied. After sketching the basis of the theory, within the context of the Schr\"{o}dinger equation for spatially varying effective mass, the simplest problem, namely, tranmission through a square well potential with a position dependent mass barrier is studied and its novel properties are obtained. The solutions presented here may be adventageous in the design of semiconductor devices.
