When a single-layer graphene sheet is contacted with metallic electrodes, tunnel barriers are formed as a result of the doping of graphene by the metal in the contact region. If the Fermi energy level is modulated by a gate voltage, the…

Anomalous tunneling refers to the phenomenon in which the transmission coefficient through a potential barrier approaches unity as the energy of an incident particle or quasiparticle tends to zero. This counterintuitive effect has been…
Exact conditions for anti-Klein transmission zeros are found analytically with a 4-component continuum approach which includes trigonal warping. Anti-Klein tunneling occurs at oblique incidence on steps and barriers with soft and hard walls…
