Abstract
This thesis is concerned with an elementary problem of quantum mechanics. We discuss the change in the behavior of the wave function when the potential is changed. The MAT ( maximum -amplitude-trajectory) method is used to present the results in a visually appealing form. We compare the results for three different potentials: (1) a simple square barrier, (2) a square barrier with free space inside, and (3) a square barrier wit h a square well inside. By the comparison of these three results, we are able to understand the effects of co-existence of square barrier and square well. The results will be presented in the following order: (1)Introduction, (2) The Significance of MAT, (3)The Maximum-Amplitude-Trajectory for Simple Square Barrier, (4)The Maximum-Amplitude-Trajectory for Square Barrier with Free space inside, (5)The Maximum-Amplitude-Trajectory for Co-existing Square Well and Square Barrier, (6)Discussion, and (7)Conclusion.
