文摘This paper studies quantum reflection with recent research on reflection coefficient. Based on the analytical transfer matrix method, a novel explanation for this phenomenon is proposed that quantum reflection is the reflection of subwaves, which originate inherently from the inhomogeneity of the fields and is always neglected in the semiclassical regime. Comparison with exact formula and the numerical calculations for different potentials has confirmed the reliability and the validity of the proposed theory.
