Pseudospin Splitting of the Energy Spectrum of Planar Polytype Graphene-Based Superlattices

Abstract

The energy spectrum of planar polytype graphene-based superlattices has been investigated. It is shown that their energy spectrum undergoes pseudospin splitting due to the asymmetry of quantum wells forming the superlattice potential profile.
