Abstract
In this letter we prove explicitly that if the Hartman effect exists for an arbitrary “unit cell” potential, then it also exists for a periodic system constructed using the same “unit cell” potential repeatedly. We further show that if the Hartman effect exists, the tunneling time in the limiting case of a sufficiently thick “unit cell” potential is the same as that of its periodic system. This is true for any arbitrary value of the intervening gap between the consecutive “unit cell” of the periodic system. Thus, the generalized Hartman effect always occurs for a general potential constructed using multiple copies of single potential which shows Hartman effect.
