Abstract

The optimal resonant tunneling, or the complete tunneling transparence of a biased double-barrier resonant-tunneling (DBRT) structure, is discussed. It is shown that its physics does not rest on the departure from the constant potential within the barriers and well, due to the applied electric field, but on the effective symmetry of the rectangular-barrier profile, which approximates the real potential profile for the corresponding applied bias.
