    1) The document considers a delta function potential barrier at the origin and derives the transmission (T) and reflection (R) coefficients for particles incident on the barrier. 2) By matching boundary conditions at the origin and integrating the Schrodinger equation, expressions are obtained for the reflection and transmission amplitudes (B and C). 3) Expressions for T and R are derived in terms of the energy E and strength of the delta function barrier λ. T and R are shown to depend inversely on the energy.

    V.   potential barrier at the origin

    Consider the potential barrier V ( x)   ( x) . Then an incoming particle from the left is reflected and
    transmitted at the barrier. Therefore:

    I ( x)  eikx  Be ikx for x0

    II ( x)  Ceikx for x0

    Matching condition at x  0 :

    I (0)  II (0)  1  B  C

    Due to the singular nature of the potential let us search for the other matching condition at x  0 . Let us
    integrate the time-independent Schrodinger equation from   to   around the origin:

    2 d 2
      V ( x )( x )  E( x )
    2m dx 2

    Results:

    
     2 d() d( )
     (  )  (0)  E  ( x )dx
    2m dx dx 

    By taking the limit   0 the right side becomes zero and we obtain the discontinuity of first order
    derivative in origin:

    d 2m
    lim( ( )   ( ))  2  (0)
    dx
     0

    from where is deduced that:

    2m
    ik (C  B  1)  (0) .
    2
    Summarizing, we obtained the following system of equations from where B and C can be calculated:

    1 B  C
    2m
    B  C 1  C
    ik 2

    m
    Then with   is obtained:
    k 2

    i
    B
    1  i

    1
    C
    1  i

    The transmission coefficient is ( A  1 ):

    2
    C 1 1 E
    T   
    A
    2
    1  2 m2 2
    m 2
    1 2 4 E 2
    k 2

    2mE
    Here was employed the relation k  . Analogously the reflection coefficient:

    2
    m 2
    B  2 2
    R 2   1 T  2 2
    A 1  2
    m
    E 2
    2

    Discuss R and T as a function of the energy.
