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
dt = (h/E) / N
where h = 4.1357e-15 eV.s (Planck's constant).

Resonance in the well occurs for E = 0.406 eV.
Wave packed representation of electrons

An electron is being accelerated from 20eV upto 120eV by an uniform ultra-high electric field of 100V/nm.

If x < xa
U(x) = 0

If xa < x < xb
U(x) = -U0*(x - xa)/(xb - xa)

If x > xb
U(x) = - U0

U0 = 100 eV, xa = 2nm,
and xb = 3nm.

Slowdown of an electron of 80eV by a restoring force

If x < x0
F = 0

If x > x0
F = -k*(x-x0)

k = 16eV/nm2 and x0 = 2nm.

Reflection and transmission (tunneling) of a 40eV electron across a Lorentzian barrier.

If |x-x0| < w
U(x) = Umax

If |x-x0| > w
U(x) = Umax * w / |x-x0|

Umax = 41eV, w = 0.08nm,
FWHM = 4*w, and x0 = 4nm.
