contents Quantum transport properties of one dimensional barriers: a simple approach to calculate transfer matrices M. Rodríguez Achach R. Huerta Quintanilla Física, Astronomía y Matemáticas superlattices Transfer matrix electronic transport We present a simple method for calculating the transfer matrix of a one dimensional system consisting of a number of rectangular barriers ofarbitrary shape. We also make use of the Cayley-Hamilton theorem and the spectral theory of finite complex matrices to calculate high powersof matrices in a simple way, obtaining analytic expressions that are easily evaluated. We give an example of the transmission coefficient andconduction bands for a complex-basis superlattice. The method provides an intuitive approach to the construction for the transfer matrix. 2004 artículo científico 0035-001X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=57063109 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=570 Revista Mexicana de Física application/pdf Sociedad Mexicana de Física A.C.
