Abstract
The transmission characteristic of barrierless ABABA multilayer system , where A and B are materials with differing effective masses, is anal yzed. The system shows resonant transmission similarly to a convention al double-barrier system, but shows unique features: unity transmissio n at zero energy, a more structured nature of the transmission versus energy curve and a non-decreasing peak-to-valley ratio with increasing energy.
