Tunnelling of a Composite Particle in Presence of a Magnetic Field.

We present a simple model of composite particle tunnelling through a potential barrier in presence of a (pseudo)magnetic field. The exact numerical solution of the problem is provided and the applicability to real physical systems is discussed. When the magnetic field is present some new qualitative features of the transmission spectrum are observed, compared to the previously studied composite particle tunnelling with no magnetic field. Splitting of energy levels in a magnetic field leads to splitting of transmission probability resonances, which are a generic feature of composite particle tunnelling. Magnetic field also induces precession of spin on the Bloch sphere, that can be used as a Larmor clock for measuring tunnelling time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
