Tunnel Effect or 'Saute-Mouton'?
Antonio Carlos Baptista Antunes, Leila Jorge Antunes
TL;DR
This paper investigates whether quantum particles passing through a central barrier in an infinite well are better described by tunneling or a 'saute-mouton' mechanism, using a specific potential model.
Contribution
It introduces a model to distinguish between tunneling and 'saute-mouton' descriptions of quantum particle passage through barriers.
Findings
Identifies conditions favoring tunneling over 'saute-mouton'
Provides criteria to differentiate the two mechanisms
Enhances understanding of quantum barrier traversal
Abstract
An infinite well potential containing a rectangular barrier in its center is used to verify if the passage of a quantum particle through the barrier is described by tunnel effect or 'saute-mouton'.
