Larmor Time for Trapezoidal Barrier
In this paper, we explore the Larmor time for three types of trapezoidal barriers, and we find consistent results between the traditionally defined Larmor time and a newly defined one. We confirm that the transmission Larmor time for the trapezoidal barriers also satisfies certain properties of mirror-symmetric barriers. Consistent with our expectations, we also find that: 1. as the barrier height increases, the peak of the Larmor time shifts to the right (higher energy); and 2. as the barrier width increases, the peak becomes larger in coincidence with the classical expectation that a particle needs more time to cross a longer path of the same height/inclination.
