A. Introduction

In this chapter it will be studied important thing about particle in potential barrier i.e.: 1. Particle in step potential with energy E V o . 2. Particle in step potential with energy E V o . 3. Particle in barrier potential with energy E V o . 4. Particle in barrier potential with energy E V o . To study this topics it is required comprehension about Schrodinger equation, continuity of wave function, and its physical interpretation. Analysis is conducted by describe eigen function in each area and determinate the transmission coefficient transmutation T. B. Particle in Step Potential with Energy E V o In Figure 10.1 is described particle in step potential with energy E V o : Figure 10.1. Particle in step potential with energy E V o According to classical mechanic, particle with energy E V o will be reflected in left direction.
