Abstract
We analyze the barrier problem and the Kronig-Penney model for Dirac particles, paying attention to the Klein paradox and the nature of the potential. The ambiguities associated with the δ-function limit are examined and the physically reasonable way to include δ-function potentials in the Dirac-Kronig-Penney problem is identified.Keywords
