Phys. Rev. A 64, 042716 (2001) [4 pages]Schrödinger transmission through one-dimensional complex potentialsReceived 15 March 2001; published 17 September 2001 We prove that for a symmetric complex potential, the probabilities of quantal reflection and transmission of a particle are independent of the direction of incidence of the particle. However, the reflectivity for a nonsymmetric complex potential is found to be sensitive to the direction of incidence of the particle whether it is incident from left or right. © 2001 The American Physical Society URL:
