We investigated the Dirac electrons transmission through a potential barrier in the presence of circularly polarized light. An anomalous photon-assisted enhanced transmission is predicted and explained in a comparison with the well-known…
The relativistic nature of charge carriers in graphene is expected to lead to an angle- dependent transmission through a potential barrier, where Klein tunneling involves annihilation of an electron and a hole at the edges of the barrier.…
We theoretically investigate Klein tunneling processes in photonic artificial graphene. Klein tunneling is a phenomenon in which a particle with Dirac dispersion going through a potential step shows a characteristic angle- and…
The so-called Klein paradox - unimpeded penetration of relativistic particles through high and wide potential barriers - is one of the most exotic and counterintuitive consequences of quantum electrodynamics (QED). The phenomenon is…
Klein's paradox refers to the transmission of a relativistic particle through a high potential barrier. Although it has a simple resolution in terms of particle-to-antiparticle tunneling (Klein tunneling), debates on its physical meaning…
Klein tunneling and conductance for Dirac fermions in ABC-stacked trilayer graphene (ABC-TLG) through symmetric and asymmetric double potential barriers are investigated using the two and six-band continuum model. Numerical results for our…
The perfect transmission in graphene monolayer and the perfect reflection in Bernal graphene bilayer for electrons incident in the normal direction of a potential barrier are viewed as two incarnations of the Klein paradox. Here we show a…
Dirac particles can undergo perfect transmission through a sufficiently high potential barrier in the Klein zone. Although the perfect Klein tunneling (often referred to as the Klein paradox) is similar to the non-relativistic resonant…
Klein tunneling is a counterintuitive quantum-mechanical phenomenon, predicting perfect transmission of relativistic particles through higher energy barriers. This phenomenon was shown to be supported at normal incidence in graphene due to…
This article provides a pedagogical review on Klein tunneling in graphene, i.e. the peculiar tunneling properties of two-dimensional massless Dirac electrons. We consider two simple situations in detail: a massless Dirac electron incident…
The conductance and the Fano factor in a graphene sheet in the ballistic regime are calculated. The electrostatic potential in the sheet is modeled by a trapezoid barrier, which allows to use the exact solution of the Dirac equation in a…
Graphene electrons feature a pair of massless Dirac cones of opposite pseudospin chirality at two valleys. Klein tunneling refers to the intriguing capability of these chiral electrons to penetrate through high and wide potential barrier.…
It is demonstrated that both transmission and reflection coefficients associated to the Klein paradox at a step barrier are positive and less than unity, so that the particle-antiparticle pair creation mechanism commonly linked to this…
We study the transmission probability of Dirac fermions in graphene scattered by a triangular double barrier potential in the presence of an external magnetic field. Our system made of two triangular potential barrier regions separated by a…
Based on the transmission coefficient of tunneling electrons, we have presented tunneling current and conductivity across a square-potential barrier for both graphene and $\alpha$-$\mathcal{T}_3$ lattices under a linearly-polarized…
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…
After having derived boundary conditions for dressed-state electrons in a dice lattice, we investigate the electron tunneling through a square electrostatic potential barrier in both dice lattices and graphene under a linearly-polarized…
An armchair graphene ribbon switch has been designed based on the principle of the Klein paradox. The resulting switch displays an excellent on-off ratio performance. Anomalous tunneling phenomena are observed in our numerical simulations.…
We develop an analytical mode-matching technique for the tight-binding model to describe electron transport across graphene P-N junctions. This method shares the simplicity of the conventional mode-matching technique for the low-energy…
In 1928, P. Dirac proposed a new wave equation to describe relativistic electrons. Shortly afterwards, O. Klein solved a simple potential step problem for the Dirac equation and stumbled upon an apparent paradox - the potential becomes…
