Abstract
A heterostructure composed of N parallel homogeneous layers is studied in the limit as their widths l 1, …, l N shrink to zero. The problem is investigated in one dimension and the piecewise constant potential in the Schrödinger equation is given by the strengths V 1, …, V N as functions of l 1, …, l N , respectively. The key point is the derivation of the conditions on the functions V 1(l 1), …, V N (l N ) for realizing a family of one-point interactions as l 1, …, l N tend to zero along available paths in the N-dimensional space. The existence of equations for a squeezed structure, the solution of which determines the system parameter values, under which the non-zero tunneling of quantum particles through a multi-layer structure occurs, is shown to exist and depend on the paths. This tunneling appears as a result of an appropriate cancellation of divergences.Keywords
