Abstract: We present one dimensional potentials $V(x)=V_0[e^{2|x|/a}-1]$ as solvable models of a well $(V_0>0)$ and a barrier ($V_0<0$). Apart from being new addition to solvable models, these models are instructive for finding bound and scattering states from the analytic solutions of Schr{"o}dinger equation. The exact analytic (semi-classical and quantal) forms for bound states of the well and reflection/transmission $(R/T)$ co-efficients for the barrier have been derived. Interestingly, the crossover energy $E_c$ where $R(E_c)=1/2=T(E_c)$ may occur below/above or at the barrier-top. A connection between poles of these co-efficients and bound state eigenvalues of the well has also been demonstrated.
