In this paper, we have studied the Klein’s paradox in the presence of both scalar and vector potential barriers. From the corresponding Dirac equation, we have calculated the transmission and reflection coefficients. It is shown that the presence of a scalar barrier the scalar potential widens the gap between positive and negative energies and so the forbidden region. Accordingly, the Klein’s paradox disappears when the scalar barrier exceeds a critical value. Considering the problem within the framework of quantum field theory, we have calculated the related pair creation probability, the mean number of created particles and the probability of a vacuum to remain a vacuum. Then it is shown that the scalar potential cuts down the Klein range and minimizes the creation of particles; the particle creation decreases as the scalar potential increases and ceases definitely when the scalar potential reaches the critical value.

The microwave properties of a composite material containing flakes of finemet-type nanocrystalline alloy placed in the epoxy matrix have been investigated. Two compositions have been studied: with 15% and 30% flakes. Frequency dependences of transmission and reflection coefficients are measured in the frequency range from 12 to 38 GHz. The dielectric permittivity and magnetic permeability are obtained, and the microwave losses are calculated. The dependences of transmission and reflection coefficients have been drawn as functions of wave frequency and thickness of the composite material, taking into account the frequency dependences of permittivity and permeability. The regions of maximal and minimal microwave absorption have been defined. The influence of wave interference on the frequency dependence of microwave absorption is studied.

In this paper, we study the Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau (DKP) equation in the presence of a smooth barrier in dimensions space–time (1+1) dimensions. The eigenfunctions are determined in terms of the confluent hypergeometric function [Formula: see text]. The transmission and reflection coefficients are calculated, special cases as a rectangular barrier and step potential are analyzed. A numerical study is presented for the transmission and reflection coefficients graphs for some values of the parameters [Formula: see text] are plotted.

Abstract This paper presents the materials evaluation and environmental monitoring techniques utilizing the acoustic resonance, which have been developed by the authors. When the ultrasound passes through thin layer, the transmission and reflection coefficients take their maximum and the minimum values at the resonant frequency. We call this acoustic resonance. The acoustic properties of a polymer film, e.g., the acoustic impedance, ultrasonic velocity, and density, can be determined by observing the acoustic resonance, which occurs at the water/film/reflection plate interface. Acoustic resonance occurs at the reflection plate/film/outer environment interface sensitively changes depending on the outer environment. With use of this, the temperature of the water as an outer environment is tried to be monitored.

We present a new potential barrier that presents the phenomenon of superradiance when the reflection coefficient [Formula: see text] is greater than one. We calculated the transmission and reflection coefficients for three different regions. The results are compared with those obtained for the hyperbolic tangent potential barrier and the step potential barrier. We also present the solution of the Klein–Gordon equation with the Lambert-[Formula: see text] potential barrier in terms of the Heun Confluent functions.

Generation of wake fields by a short electromagnetic pulse in a plasma with an inhomogeneous background magnetic field and density profile is considered, and a wave equation is derived. Transmission and reflection coefficients are calculated in a medium with sharp discontinuities. Particular attention is focused on examples where the longitudinal part of the electromagnetic field is amplified for the transmitted wave. Furthermore, it is noted that the wake field can propagate out of the plasma and thereby provide information about the electron density profile. A method for reconstructing the background density profile from a measured wake field spectrum is proposed and a numerical example is given.
