Abstract
In this article, we have studied scattering of non-relativistic particles from Quaternionic double Dirac delta potential. This scattering is investigated in Quaternionic version of quantum mechanics which is based of quaternions. Probability current density functions, reflection and transmission coefficients for different regions have been calculated analytically and conservation law of probability has been checked. Then an analogy is presented between derived results and Ramsauer–Townsend effect.
