ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1088/0143-0807/31/1/005 | Abstract: | The transmission through a stack of identical slabs that are separated by gaps with random widths is usually treated by calculating the average of the logarithm of the transmission probability. We show how to calculate the average of the transmission probability itself with the aid of a recurrence relation and derive analytical upper and lower bounds. The upper bound, when used as an approximation for the transmission probability, is unreasonably good and we conjecture that it is asymptotically exact. © 2010 IOP Publishing Ltd. | Source Title: | European Journal of Physics | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/115602 | ISSN: | 01430807 | DOI: | 10.1088/0143-0807/31/1/005 |
