Various theories of Quantum Gravity predict the existence of a minimum observable length, or a maximum observable momentum, and the related generalized uncertainty principle (GUP), and it influences all quantum Hamiltonians. Thus, they predict quantum gravity corrections to various quantum phenomena. The GUP gives rise to two additional terms in any quantum mechanical Hamiltonian, proportional toandrespectively, where is the GUP parameter. By considering both terms as perturbations .We compute such corrections to the two typical potentials: parabolic potential toand Dirac potential to. We show that the GUP affects reflection and transmission coefficients of the two potentials.

Various theories of quantum gravity argue that near the Planck scale, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle should be replaced by the so called generalized uncertainty principle (GUP). We show that the GUP gives rise to two additional terms in any quantum mechanical Hamiltonian, proportional to βp4 and β2p6, respectively, where β ∼ 1/(MPlc)2 is the GUP parameter. These terms become important at or above the Planck energy. Considering only the first of these and treating it as a perturbation, we show that the GUP affects the Lamb shift, Landau levels, reflection and transmission coefficients of a potential step and potential barrier, and the current in a scanning tunnel microscope (STM). Although these are too small to be measurable at present, we speculate on the possibility of extracting measurable predictions in the future.

In this paper, we illustrate an application of the Laplace transformation for finding the quantum mechanical Reflection and Transmission coefficients for a particle through a one-dimensional vertical step potential. Quantum mechanics is one of the branches of physics in which the physical problems are solved by algebraic and analytic methods. By applying the Laplace transformation, we can find the quantum mechanical Reflection and Transmission coefficients for a particle through a one-dimensional vertical step potential. Generally, the Laplace transformation has been applied in different areas of science and engineering and makes it easier to solve the problems inengineering applications. It is a mathematical tool which has been put to use for solving the differential equations without finding their general solutions. It has applications in nearly all science and engineering disciplines like analysis of electrical circuits, heat and mass transfer, fluid dynamics, nuclear physics, process controls, quantum mechanical problems,etc.

Reflection and transmission coefficients of plane waves with oblique incidence to a multilayered system of piezomagnetic and/or piezoelectric materials are investigated in this paper. The general Christoffel equation is derived from the coupled constitutive and balance equations, which is further employed to solve the elastic displacements and electric and magnetic potentials. Based on these solutions, the reflection and transmission coefficients in the corresponding layered structures are subsequently obtained by virtue of the propagator matrix method. Two layered examples are selected to verify and illustrate our solutions. One is the purely elastic layered system composed of aluminum and organic glass materials. The other layered system is composed of the novel magnetoelectroelastic material and the organic glass. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the variation of the reflection and transmission coefficients with different incident angles, frequencies, and boundary conditions, which could be useful to nondestructive evaluation of this novel material structure based on wave propagations.

Hawking’s calculation is unable to predict the final stage of the black hole evaporation. When effects of quantum gravity are taken into account, there is a minimal observable length. In this paper, we investigate fermions’ tunnelling from the charged and rotating black strings. With the influence of the generalized uncertainty principle, the Hawking temperatures are not only determined by the rings, but also affected by the quantum numbers of the emitted fermions. Quantum gravity corrections slow down the increases of the temperatures, which naturally leads to remnants left in the evaporation.
