Recently, in my quantum physics classes i was introduced to the concept of tunneling of particle through a barrier potential and about transmission probability.
Our instructor mentioned about something known as "Klein tunneling".
Can somebody explain to me what is Klein tunneling and why behavior of the particle which is tunneling changes when barrier potential is approximately equal to rest mass energy,
V≅MC2 .
