Delay time and the hartman effect in quantum tunneling.
نویسنده
چکیده
A general relation between the group delay and the dwell time is derived for quantum tunneling. It is shown that the group delay is equal to the dwell time plus a self-interference delay. The Hartman effect in quantum tunneling is explained on the basis of saturation of the integrated probability density (or number of particles) under the barrier.

Tunneling time, the Hartman effect, and superluminality: A proposed resolution of an old paradox
The issue of tunneling time is repletewith controversy and paradoxes. The controversy stems from the fact thatmany tunneling time definitions seem to predict superluminal tunneling velocities. One prediction, termed the Hartman effect, states that the tunneling time becomes independent of barrier length for thick enough barriers, ultimately resulting in unbounded tunneling velocities. Experimen...
متن کاملPerformance evaluation of Carbon nanotube junctionless tunneling field effect transistor (CNT-JLTFET) under torsional strain: A quantum simulation study
In this paper, the performance of a CNT-JLTFET under different values of torsional strains of 0, 3, and 5 degrees has been investigated. Simulation has been carried out using non-equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) formalism in the mode-space approach and in the ballistic limit. The simulation results indicate that, under torsional strain, an increase occurs in the energy band-gap, and thus the...
متن کاملDo single photons tunnel faster than light?
Experiments done with single photons in the early 1990’s produced a surprising result: that single photons pass through a photonic tunnel barrier with a group velocity faster than the vacuum speed of light. This result has stimulated intense discussions related to causality, the speed of information transfer, the nature of barrier tunneling and the meaning of group velocity. The superluminality...
متن کاملPhysical Mechanism for Apparent Superluminality in Barrier Tunneling
Tunneling without distortion is not a propagation phenomenon but a quasistatic process in which the slowly varying envelope of the input pulse modulates the amplitude of a standing wave in the barrier. Because the envelope has a bandwidth that is small compared to the cutoff frequency of the barrier it does not propagate; it merely stands and waves. The envelope of the reflected and transmitted...
متن کاملRelation between quantum tunneling times for relativistic particles
The time it takes for a particle or wave packet to tunnel through a potential barrier has been debated for decades [1–8]. The fact that there is a finite duration for the tunneling process is not in doubt. The debate centers around the validity of the various proposed tunneling times, the relation between those times, and the physical meaning of a tunneling time especially when it predicts appa...
