Resonant Tunneling Devices

A novel concept, the quantum mechanical wave impedance (QMWI) that is related to the logarithmic derivative of the particle wave function is introduced as a method to solve time-independent Schroedinger equation.  Use of QMWI does not require the incorporation of fictitious boundary conditions at infinity for wave function normalization.  QMWI being a complex number eases computation and does not result in round-off errors.  Moreover, the method lends towards easy incorporation of both elastic and inelastic scatterings and self-consistent solution.
