Examples

1. barrier height measurement of titania varistor ceramics
2. the calculation of maximum potential barrier height of donor-doped barium titanate ceramics
3. The symmetry-imposed barrier heights of group transfer reactions can also be analyzed using correlation diagrams.
4. The Woodward Hoffmann rules are used to predict relative barrier heights, and thus likely reaction mechanisms.
5. Note that the probabilities and amplitudes as written are for any energy ( above / below ) the barrier height.
