{ \bf Potential:} \begin{align*}V(x) = \begin{array}{ll}
V_0 & \text{if } 0<x<a\\
0 & \text{otherwise}
\end{array}\end{align*}
{ \bf Solutions:}
\begin{eqnarray*}
\psi_1&=&A e^{ikx}+Be^{-ikx},\,\qquad region\, I,\, x\leq0 \\
\psi_2&=&Fe^{k_2x}+Ge^{-k_2x}, \qquad region\, II, \,0<x<a\\
\psi_3&=&Ce^{ikx},\qquad region\, III,\, x\geq a
\end{eqnarray*}
Here $A$ is incident wave in region I, $B$ is transmitted wave from barrier at $x=0$, $C$ is transmitted wave in region III ($x>a$). $F$ and $G$ are the wave transmitted and reflected at $x=a$ respectively in region II.
\begin{equation*}
k^2=\frac{2mE}{\hbar^2};\qquad k_2=\frac{\sqrt{2m(V_0-E)}}{\hbar},
\end{equation*}
and we are dealing with the case when $E<V_0$.
{\bf Boundary conditions:}
$\psi_1, \psi_1^{'}, \psi_2, \psi_2^{'}$ and $\psi_3, \psi_3^{'}$ are continuous at $x=0$ and $x=a$. These will give rise four equations of 5 unknowns $A, B, C, F, G$. Solve these and write B, F, C, G in terms of A.
The transmission co-efficient is given by
\[ T=\frac{C^{*}C}{A^{*}A}=\left[1 + \frac{(e^{k_2a}-e^{-k_2a})^2}{16\left(\frac{E}{V_0}\left(1-\frac{E}{V_0}\right)\right)}\right]^{-1}\]
For large $k_2a$ or for $k_2a>>1$ one can write :
\[T\backsimeq 16\frac{E}{V_0}\left(1-\frac{E}{V_0}\right)e^{-2k_2a}\]
There exists a finite probability for the particle to tunnel through the barrier!
The reflection co-efficient is defined as :
\[R=\frac{B^{*}B}{A^{*}A}\]
Check $T+R=1$.
