    New shape resonances in one dimension
    (Institute of Physics, 2015) Ahmed, Z.; Pavaskar, S.; Prakash, L.
    Hitherto, a finitely thick barrier next to a well or a rigid wall has been considered the potential of simplest shape giving rise to resonances (metastable states) in one dimension: x ?(-?, ?). In such a potential, there are three real turning points at an energy below the barrier. Resonances are Gamow's (time-wise) decaying states with discrete complex energies.(?n = En - i?n/2) These are also spatially catastrophic states that manifest as peaks/wiggles in Wigner's reflection time delay at E = ? ? En Here we explore potentials with simpler shapes giving rise to resonances - two-piece rising potentials having just one-turning point. We demonstrate our point by using rising exponential profile in various ways. © 2015 IOP Publishing Ltd.
