By expressing the time-independent Schrodinger equation in one dimension as a system of two first-order differential equations, the transfer matrix for a rectangular potential barrier is obtained making use of the matrix exponential. It is…
This paper adapts the recently developed rigorous application of the supersymmetric transfer matrix approach for the 1d band matrices to the case of the orthogonal symmetry. We consider $N\times N$ block band matrices consisting of $W\times…
