Abstract:
In this paper, the analytical transfer matrix method
(ATMM) is applied to study the properties of quantum reflection in
three systems: a sech$^{2}$ barrier, a ramp potential and an inverse
harmonic oscillator. Our results agree with those obtained by Landau
and Lifshitz Landau L D and Lifshitz E M 1977 \wx{Quantum Mechanics
(Non-relativistic Theory)}{} (New York: Pergamon)], which proves
that ATMM is a simple and effective method for quantum reflection.
