Robust zero-averaged wave-number gap inside gapped graphene superlattices
arXiv:1008.0504 · doi:10.1063/1.3525270
Abstract
In this paper, the electronic band structures and its transport properties in the gapped graphene superlattices, with one-dimensional (1D) periodic potentials of square barriers, are systematically investigated. It is found that a zero averaged wave-number (zero- ) gap is formed inside the gapped graphene-based superlattices, and the condition for obtaining such a zero- gap is analytically presented. The properties of this zero- gap including its transmission, conductance and Fano factor are studied in detail. Finally it is revealed that the properties of the electronic transmission, conductance and Fano factor near the zero- gap are very insensitive to the structural disorder for the finite graphene-based periodic-barrier systems.
