Principles of a resonant-tunneling in semiconductor devices. In this case, a barrier with a V-shaped well at the middle, similar to that created by Si delta-dopping a GaAs barrier. For each value of energy E, the figure shows a set of N (=20) wave-functions incremented in time by Resonance in the well occurs for E = 0.406 eV. |

An electron is being accelerated from 20eV upto 120eV by an uniform ultra-high electric field of 100V/nm. If x < xa If xa < x < xb If x > xb U0 = 100 eV, xa = 2nm, and xb = 3nm. |

Slowdown of an electron of 80eV by a restoring force If x < x0 If x > x0 k = 16eV/nm2 and x0 = 2nm. |

Reflection and transmission (tunneling) of a 40eV electron across a Lorentzian barrier. If |x-x0| < w If |x-x0| > w Umax = 41eV, w = 0.08nm, FWHM = 4*w, and x0 = 4nm. |
