SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the quest for experimental verification of quantum mechanics principles related to rectangular potential barriers, specifically the reflection rates under varying energy conditions (E>V0, E=V0, E PREREQUISITES

  • Understanding of quantum mechanics principles, particularly the Schrödinger equation.
  • Familiarity with potential barriers in quantum mechanics.
  • Knowledge of reflection rates in quantum tunneling scenarios.
  • Awareness of experimental physics methodologies related to quantum experiments.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research experimental setups for quantum tunneling and potential barriers.
  • Investigate existing studies on the reflection rates of particles in potential barriers.
  • Explore collaborations with universities known for quantum mechanics research.
  • Learn about the methodologies used in experiments involving radioactive decay and potential barriers.
USEFUL FOR

Quantum physicists, experimental physicists, and students interested in the practical applications of quantum mechanics and potential barrier experiments.

In QM textbook, there is the solution of shroedinger Eq. on the rectangular potential barrier.
The reflection rate can be caculated in each case, E>V0, E=V0 and E<V0.

But, I can't find the experiment on the rectangular potential barrier anywhere.

Is there anybody who does or sees such an experiment?

If you did, Contact me. mrhun@hanmail.net.
I want to listen to that experiment in detail.

cheers

Perfect rectangular potentials are not possible in real experiments, but experiments with some other potential barrier shapes have been done. Radioactive alpha decays are a natural example of those experiments.
 
Thanks for your answer.
As you say, Radioactive alpha decay is good example.

But, The thing I want to say is about the expeirment by using the potential made by human.
I know that alpha decay is occurred by the potential which is made by nature, not human.

I want to know how the reflection rate will be changed when the width of potential barrier increases in the real experiment.

Did you see such an experiment?

I want to do such an experiment.
I want to find some experimentalists who have the interest in that experiment.

Do you know some?

If I have good luck, I hope to find some experimentalists in the universities in Europe, America and Asia.

MIT, Harvard, princeton, cambridge, Max plank institute, Tokyo, Hongkong and etc.

cheers
