Gamov vectors for barrier wells (Q1600545)

The paper gives examples of Gamow vectors, which are eigenvectors of the interaction Hamiltonians having complex eigenvalues at the resonance poles, i.e. the poles of the associated S-matrix. Four examples correspond to one-dimensional potential barriers: one square barrier, a square barrier with an impenetrable wall, a sequence of rectangular barriers with the same height and width, and a potentail represented by two delta functions plus an impenetrable barrier (for other examples of the Gamow vectors, see the previous paper of the authors [Chaos Solitons Frantals 12, 2707-2717 (2001; Zbl 1024.81048)]). It is shown that double poles can occur in simple models of scattering. Some general properties of degenerated resonances are discussed.
