Triangular Quantum Profiles: transmission probability and energy spectrum

Quantum Physics 2017-03-03 v1

Abstract

Analytical expressions for the transition probability and the energy spectrum of the 1D Schr\"odinger equation with position dependent mass are presented for the triangular quantum barrier and quantum well. The transmission coefficient is obtained by using the wave functions written in terms of the Airy's functions and of the solutions of the Kummer's differential equation. In order to show the validity of our analyze, an example by taking some numerical values for GaAs heterostructure is presented.
