A small momentum transfer to a particle interacting with a steep potential barrier gives rise to a quantum evaporation effect which increases the transmission appreciably. This effect results from the unexpectedly large population of quantum states with energies above the height of the barrier. Its characteristic properties are studied and an example of physical system in which it may be observed is given.
