Klein tunneling of the electronic states in the gate voltage modulated skyrmion crystal

Abstract

As a result of the Hund's coupling, the band structure of the conducting electrons in the skyrmion crystal (SkX) shares similar topological properties with that of graphene, such as its cone-like shape, nonzero band Chern number, edge states, and etc. In this work, we rigorously demonstrate that the Klein tunneling phenomena is also shared by these two. We use the Green's function technique and calculated the transmission probability of the electrons tunneling through an electrostatic barrier in the SkX expressed by the double exchange model. Numerical results of the SkX reproduced the Dirac model obtained by linear fitting the two-dimensional band structure of the SkX.
