We study the effect of the shape of different potential barriers on a transmitted charged current whose fermionic population is not monoenergetic but is described by means of an energy spectrum. The generalised kappa Fermi-Dirac distribution function is able to take into account both equilibrium and non-equilibrium populations of particles by changing the kappa index. Moreover, the corresponding current density can be evaluated using such a distribution. Subsequently, this progressive charged density arrives at the potential barrier, which is considered under several shapes, and the corresponding transmission factor is evaluated. This permits a comparison of the effects for different barriers as well as for different energy states of the incoming current.
