By applying continuity and boundary conditions, the reflection and transmission coefficients of one-dimensional time-independent Schrödinger equation with a symmetric
IntroductionThe scattering phenomena, such as scattering phase shifts, reflection and transmission coefficients are used to explain the behaviour of waves incident on a barrier [1-2]. The transmission coefficient represents the probability flux of the transmitted wave relative to that of the incident wave. It is often used to describe the probability of a particle tunneling through a barrier. This is more feasible in the case where electrons tunnel between two conducting materials. The shifted Deng-Fan potential is a suitable model for the theoretical predictions because it has been used extensively in both relativistic and non -relativistic quantum mechanics. The original Deng-Fan molecular potential has the correct asymptotic behaviour at the origin [3][4][5][6][7][8][9], and so, it has been used to predict the interactions between atoms and molecules and vibrational spectrum [3][4][5][6][7][8][9].
