Wave packet tunneling and imaginary wave vector dispersion

Dispersion associated with the complex band structure of a periodic potential can be used to explain single-electron wave packet tunneling through a finite-sized tunnel barrier. The imaginary k-space dispersion in a tunnel barrier may be viewed as a filter that controls the arrival time, shape, and...
