    This document contains problems related to solid state electronics and crystalline structures: 1) It asks the student to calculate the probability of an electron tunneling through a potential barrier and the number of electrons that will penetrate the barrier out of a million impinging electrons. 2) It asks the student to calculate the probability that a proton will penetrate a rectangular potential barrier of given height and thickness, given the proton's energy. 3) It asks the student to determine the condition for which the transmission coefficient has maxima for a single barrier potential with energy larger than the barrier height. 4) It also contains problems about crystalline lattices, including calculating density of atoms in cubic structures, sketching plane orientations,
