Abstract:
It is shown that a Dirac particle of mass m and arbitrarily small momentum will tunnel without reflection through a potential barrier V = U(c)(x) of finite range provided that the potential well V = -U(c)(x) supports a bound state of energy E = -m. This is called a supercritical potential well.
