barrier-transmission coefficient
1Transmission coefficient — right|frame|An electromagnetic (or any other) wave experiences partial transmittance and partial reflectance when the medium through which it travels suddenly changes.The transmission coefficient is used in physics and electrical engineering when …
2Coefficient — For other uses of this word, see coefficient (disambiguation). In mathematics, a coefficient is a multiplicative factor in some term of an expression (or of a series); it is usually a number, but in any case does not involve any variables of the… …
3Finite potential barrier (QM) — In quantum mechanics, the finite potential barrier is a standard one dimensional problem that demonstrates the phenomenon of quantum tunnelling. The problem consists of solving the time independent Schrödinger equation for a particle with a… …
4Physical coefficient — A physical coefficient is an important number that characterizes some physical property of a technical or scientific object. A coefficient also has a scientific reference which is the reliance on force. To find the coefficient of a chemical… …
5Field emission — (FE) is the emission of electrons from the surface of a condensed phase into another phase due to the presence of high electric fields. In this phenomenon, electrons with energies below the Fermi level tunnel through the potential barrier at the… …
6Delta potential well — The Delta potential well is a common theoretical problem of quantum mechanics. It consists of a time independent Schrödinger equation for a particle in a potential well defined by a delta function in one dimension.DefinitionThe time independent… …
7Multijunction photovoltaic cell — Multi junction solar cells or tandem cells are solar cells containing several p n junctions. Each junction is tuned to a different wavelength of light, reducing one of the largest inherent sources of losses, and thereby increasing efficiency.… …
8Resonant tunnelling diode — A resonant tunnel diode (RTD) is a device which uses quantum effects to produce negative differential resistance (NDR). As an RTD is capable of generating a terahertz wave at room temperature, it can be used in ultra high speed circuitry.… …
9Delta potential — The delta potential is a potential that gives rise to many interesting results in quantum mechanics. It consists of a time independent Schrödinger equation for a particle in a potential well defined by a Dirac delta function in one dimension. For …
10Quantum tunnelling — In quantum mechanics, quantum tunnelling is a nanoscopic phenomenon in which a particle violates the principles of classical mechanics by penetrating a potential barrier or impedance higher than the kinetic energy of the particle.Razavy, Mohsen.… …
