Abstract

In this paper, use is made of the tools of analytical mechanics and the concept of operators to obtain the time-independent and time-dependent Schrodinger wave equations for quantum mechanical systems. Derivations are embarked upon of expressions for reflection and transmission coefficients for a particle of mass m as well as of energy E moving under different potential set-ups across step functions, barriers and well functions. The tunneling effect is then discussed. The transmission probability equation obtained in this research has been observed to be more accurate than the transmission probability expression deduced by some researchers in 2014 for a tunneling barrier. This research work finds applications in nuclear magnetic resonance imaging systems, synchrotrons, gyrators, accelerators, and in electrodynamics.
