8. Similar subbands will arise at the interface of layers of "crested" barriers suggested recently by one of the authors [K. Likharev, Appl. Phys. Lett. 73, 2137 (1998)] to provide fast write/erase time in nonvolatile, floating-gate memories. The analysis presented in that paper did not take the resonant subbands into account. If this is done, the results are almost the same if the thickness of external layers of the barrier is increased (from 2 to ∼4 nm for the example given in that paper).
