RESUMO
We investigate a traveling Gaussian wave packet transport through a rectangular quantum barrier of lévy crystals in fractional quantum mechanics formalism. We study both standard and fractional Schrödinger equations in linear and nonlinear regimes by using a split-step finite difference (SSFD) method. We evaluate the reflection, trapping, and transmission coefficients of the wave packet and the wave packet spreading by using time-dependent inverse participation ratio (IPR) and second moment. By simultaneously adjusting the fractional and nonlinear terms, we create sharp pulses, which is an essential issue in optoelectronic devices. We illustrate that the effects of barrier height and width on the transmission coefficient are strangely different for the standard and fractional Schrödinger equations. We observe fortunately soliton-like localized wave packets in the fractional regime. Thus, we can effectively control the behavior of the wave evolution by adjusting the available parameters, which can excite new ideas in optics.
