To calculate Transmission and Reflection amplitudes (t and r), say in the figure below which is composed of three regions, first we have the solution of Schrodinger equation in each region as: [tex] \psi _i=A_i |i> +B_i |-i> ; i=I,II,III[/tex]. It seems that by matching the three wave functions and their derivatives, the coefficients A and B can be obtained. However, there are only four equations obtained at the two borders while there are six unknown coefficients! In addition, as far as I know, all the texts consider [tex] B_{III} =0 [/tex] to calculate t and r ! Could anyone please help me?
