Abstract
It is shown that the application of the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin approximate solution of the wave equation to problems of the transmission of electrons through potential barriers leads to simple derivations of formulas for the transmission coefficient. This method may be applied systematically to potential barriers of arbitrary form.Keywords
