Abstract
Electric field induced tunneling is studied in three different types of qua ntum wells by solving time-independent effective miss equation in analytic methods based on three different Airy function approaches. Comparison of di fferent Airy function methods indicates that they are identical and connect ed to each other by the Breit-Wigner formula.
