Abstract

We study electron transport in a strained graphene sheet subjected to a sequence of NN electrostatic and magnetic barriers. Employing a modified and improved transfer-matrix framework, we examine how the transmission and reflection coefficients evolve with variations in uniaxial strain and in the number of barriers. The interplay of mechanical deformation and external magnetic fields is found to generate an anomalous Klein tunnelling, allowing the conductance to be effectively modulated through strain and barrier configurations. These findings highlight the role of strain engineering and magnetic field modulation as powerful tools for tailoring charge transport in two-dimensional materials. More broadly, they underscore how mechanical and electromagnetic control can be used to design next-generation solid-state devices with tunable electronic properties.
