Abstract

In this work, we have studied relativistic corrections to electron tunneling in double barrier heterostructures through analytical solutions of a Dirac-type equation as effective-mass equation for electrons in the conduction band. It is found that relativistic wave functions for electrons give us small but significant shifts in the electron dwell time obtained through a transfer matrix method of calculation.
