• From one well, to two wells, to five wells, to periodic potentials
• Bands as a function of the geometry of the n-well potential

• Tunneling through triangual barrier encountered in Schottky contacts

• Application of stationary perturbation theory example

• 1.1.2 - the energy and transmission coefficent axis are exchanged, so the resonance peaks now line up with the spatial resonances in the barrier structure.
• 1.1.2 - bug-fix: transmission through a single barrier can be simulated now in the "n" barrier case. The code no longer provides an empty output.
• 1.1.2 - the adaptive energy refinement was improved through a different algorithm. The tool no longer utilizes the Matlab built-in adaptive integration routine but an adaptive resonance finding and grid refinement technique as used in the NEMO1D tool or the Resonant Tunneling Diode Tool.
• 1.1.2 - The single barrier case has been corrected and should be functional.
• 1.1.2 - The tool now has a progress update for the adaptive resonance finding.
