Abstract
Resonant characteristics in double-barrier tunneling structures are analyzed taking the effects of phase breaking into consideration. The correlation function is used to express the degree of phase coherence during the multiple reflection, in the Fabry-Perot resonator. This treatment promises preservation of the probability current and describes broadening of the resonant peak due to phase breaking.Keywords
