Abstract: In this paper, we explore the Larmor time for three types of trapezoidal barriers, and we find consistent results between the traditionally defined Larmor time and a newly defined one. We confirm that the transmission Larmor time for the trapezoidal barriers also satisfies certain properties of mirror-symmetric barriers. Consistent with our expectations, we also find that: 1. as the barrier height increases, the peak of the Larmor time shifts to the right (higher energy); and 2. as the barrier width increases, the peak becomes larger in coincidence with the classical expectation that a particle needs more time to cross a longer path of the same height/inclination.
