Focuses on a study which investigated the effect of scattering in the well on resonant tunneling in double-barrier heterostructures using the transfer matrix approach. Methodology of the study; Description of the perturbation potential of the scattering centers; Findings from the calculations of the transmission probability of the system; Discussion on the effect of scattering.
