Abstract

The tunneling probability W is investigated in an asymmetric double well in which the asymmetry varies with time as the particle “starts to tunnel”. A relaxation time is introduced to account for this variation of the double well, and it is found that W is always larger than in the corresponding rigid double well. This model should apply to several phenomena in which an ion or small molecule changes position through tunneling in a crystal.

## Abstract The tunneling of a hydrogen atom through the barrier of a three‐dimensional double‐well potential is considered. From the time‐dependent Schrödinger equation, expressions are derived for the ensemble‐averaged probability density and for the probability that the hydrogen atom is in the r
