Abstract

We consider the energy spectrum of the planar quantum well which consisted of two ribbons of narrow-gap semiconductors and a graphene ribbon between ones. It is shown that the gapless mode appears only in case of inverted narrow-gap semiconductors. Spin splitting of the energy spectrum for a nonsymmetric quantum well is calculated taking into account a specificity of graphene. We investigate interface states and optical transitions. It is shown that the optical transitions are possible only with a conservation of a parity.
