Relativistic Double Barrier Problem with Three Transmission Resonance Regions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We obtain exact scattering solutions of the Dirac equation in 1 1 dimensions for a double square barrier vector potential. The potential bottom between the two barriers is chosen to be higher than 2mc2, whereas the top of the barriers is at least 2mc2 above the bottom. The relativistic version of the conventional double barrier transmission resonances is obtained for energies within ±mc2 from the height of the barriers. However, due to our judicious choice of potential configuration we also find two more subbarrier transmission resonance regions below the conventional one. Both are located within the two Klein energy zones and characterized by resonances that are broader than the conventional ones. The design of our double barrier so as to enable us to establish these two new subbarrier transmission resonance regions is our main finding.

Klein tunneling in Weyl semimetals under the influence of magnetic field
Klein tunneling refers to the absence of normal backscattering of electrons even under the case of high potential barriers. At the barrier interface, the perfect matching of electron and hole wavefunctions enables a unit transmission probability for normally incident electrons. It is theoretically and experimentally well understood in two-dimensional relativistic materials such as graphene. Her...
متن کاملRelativistic Resonant Tunneling Lifetime for Double Barrier System
A relativistic study on lifetime of resonant tunneling states in the case of the double barrier system consisting of rectangular potential barriers has been studied. This study reveals the fact that as compared to the non-relativistic resonant tunneling states the relativistic resonant states occur in the lower energies but they are having shorter lifetime..
متن کاملTransmission of massless Dirac fermions through an array of random scatterers in terms of Fabry-Perot resonances: a Green’s function approach
Transmission properties of massless Dirac fermions that are charge carriers in graphene through a double potential barrier can be completely understood in terms of resonances in Fabry-Perrot cavity. Using a Green’s function based approach we generalize this analysis to the case of transmission through an array of short range random scatterers modeled as delta function. The method helps to under...
متن کاملResonance Conditions in Asymmetrical Rectangular Double-Barrier Structures under DC Bias Field
Analytical expressions for the transmission coefficient and the resonance condition are derived for the first time for the asymmetrical rectangular double-barrier structures with deep well when a dc bias field is applied. It is found that the unity resonance of the resonant tunneling with unity transmission occurs when both the phase difference condition for resonance (PDCR) and the maximum con...

In this paper, we propose and evaluate a novel design of a lightly doped drain and source carbon nanotube field effect transistor (LDDS-CNTFET) with a negative differential resistance (NDR) characteristic, called negative differential resistance LDDS-CNTFET (NDR-LDDS-CNTFET). The device was simulated by using a non equilibrium Green’s function method. To achieve this phenomenon, we have created...
