Chapter 23: Relativistic Formulation of Quantum Tunneling

      Abstract:

      For most of the problems where quantum tunneling plays a major role, whether the physics of condensed matter or in nuclear physics, the velocity of the tunneling particle is very small compared to the velocity of light. However it is important to know the relative size of the relativistic corrections in any physical situation, and this relativistic correction is the subject that we will address in the first section of this chapter.
