column 3) or the phase correction of ref 3 (column 4). It is evident that the phase correction expression of ref 3 is valid for the case AV = 0, but not when AV 0.In conclusion, therefore, we have confirmed that use of the type of WKB edge-effect correction originally proposed by Le Roy et al.3 can greatly accelerate the convergence of numerical tunneling probability calculations for potentials with long-range tails. However, for asymmetric barriers, the expression for the WKB phase correction given in ref 3 is in error and should be replaced by the present more general eq 8 and 9.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
