On the tunneling time of arbitrary continuous potentials and the Hartman effect

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/19/11/117305

Abstract This paper obtains a generalized tunneling time of one-dimensional potentials via time reversal invariance. It also proposes a simple explanation for the Hartman effect using the useful concept of the scattered subwaves.

Keywords: tunneling time analytical transfer matrix method
