The One-Dimensional Finite-Difference Time
... For a potential barrier of thickness T , the potential function is simply defined as V (x) = V0 , where −T /2 ≤ x ≤ T /2, and V0 is some potential energy that is only slightly greater than KE. Figure 1 shows a simulated demonstration of just such a system. A wave packet with mean kinetic energy of K ...
