Case (2) 6.2 The Potential Barrier
&
Tunneling
•!Tunneling is one of the most important & startling"
ideas in QM. "
•!The simplest solution is a potential barrier, a PE "
jumps that is only temporary."
•! If a particle#s E < Barrier#s height, (i.e. E < U0) "
it should not get through - classically"
Potential Barrier
