Magnetic field barriers in graphene: an analytically solvable model
arXiv:1102.5298 · doi:10.1088/0953-8984/23/24/245304
Abstract
We study the dynamics of carriers in graphene subjected to an inhomogeneous magnetic field. For a magnetic field with an hyperbolic profile the corresponding Dirac equation can be analyzed within the formalism of supersymmetric quantum mechanics, and leads to an exactly solvable model. We study in detail the bound spectra. For a narrow barrier the spectra is characterized by a few bands, except for the zero energy level that remains degenerated. As, the width of the barrier increases we can track the bands evolution into the degenerated Landau levels. In the scattering regime a simple analytical formula is obtained for the transmission coefficient, this result allow us to identify the resonant conditions at which the barrier becomes transparent.
