(a)

To determine

Conditions for smoothness at regional boundaries for energy E less than barrier potential U0 and verification that reflection coefficient B is expressed as A(sinh( αL) ( sin h 2 ( αL )+ 4 α 2 k 2 / ( k 2 + α 2 ) 2 ) 1 2 )eiβ .

(b)

To determine

Verification that reflection probability R in equation (6.16) is followed from this result.
