Abstract
This paper examines tunnelling through potential well protected by double barriers as well as the motion of a wave packet encountering this type of potential. Various options for the left and right barriers’ penetration factors are taken into consideration. When one of the penetration factors has limiting value of 0.5, the transmission coefficients turns out to be independent of incoming energy of the particle and the width of potential well. When both penetration factors have a limiting value of 0.5, a scenario similar to resonance tunneling is achieved. Furthermore, by doing the wave packet analysis, we found that the width and height of potential barriers have a negligible impact on the probability of finding the particle inside the potential well in the limit of large penetration factors.
