TL;DR: In this article, the transition probability between energy eigenstates of two displaced "irrigation canal" potentials in its dependence on final state energy and wall steepness was discussed.
Abstract: We discuss the transition probability between energy eigenstates of two displaced “irrigation canal” potentials in its dependence on final state energy and wall steepness. We relate the probability caught underneath the Franck-Condon maximum to the missing probability in the corresponding problem of two displaced infinitely steep and infinitely high potential wells.

TL;DR: In this article, the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) approximation for potentials with sharp corners was shown to work well for sharp corners, and it was shown that the WKB approximation works well for all potentials.
Abstract: We show how the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) approximation works for potentials with sharp corners.
