In this paper the transmission coefficient for a double-barrier quantum well (DBQW) structure as a function of applied voltage is calculated, for the first time, using WKB approximation: This approach allows to discuss a dependence of several quantities characteristic of the system (e.g. the value of the coefficient, resonance voltage, charge stored in the well) on the barrier and the well parameters.
