Abstract
We have studied relativistic effects on the tunnelling of electrons th rough a multi-barrier system (MBS) consisting of rectangular barrier p otentials, by deriving, for the purpose, relativistic formulae for the transmission coefficient and associated relativistic conditions for r esonant tunnelling. Among other things, we have discussed critically t he quantitative extents of relativistic impacts on tunnelling through MBSS, especially in the context of their measurability.
