Consider a quantum particle with energy E approaching a potential barrier of width L and height V0 > E from the right (as shown in image). The wavefunction of the particles in the region x > L is given by ψ = A exp {−i (kx + ωt)} , where A, k and ω are all constants. Use the Gamow factor formalism to calculate an approximate expression for the transmission rate of these particles through the barrier.
