Total transmission coefficient τ _total as a function of the reduced frequency ω / Δ for different radii r ₂. Panel (a) corresponds to the scattering region with material GaAs and panel (b) corresponds to the scattering region with material AlAs. Curves a , b , c , and e are for r ₂ = 10, 15, 12, 8, and 5 nm, respectively. Here, we take r ₁ = 10 nm and d = 5 nm. Each curve is vertically offset by unity for clarity.
