Tunneling Effect in Gapped Phosphorene through Double Barriers
arXiv:2110.09342 · doi:10.1016/j.ssc.2022.114777
Abstract
We study the transport properties of charge carriers in phosphorene with a mass term through double barriers. The solutions of the energy spectrum are obtained and the dependence of the eigenvalues on the barrier potentials and wave vectors in the -direction is numerically computed. Using the boundary conditions together with the matrix transfer method, we determine transmission and the conductance of our system. These two quantities are analyzed by studying their main characteristics as a function of the physical parameters along the armchair direction. Our results show the highly anisotropic character of phosphorene and the no signature of Klein tunneling at normal incidence contrary to graphene. Moreover, it is found that the transmission and conductance display oscillatory behaviors in terms of the barrier width under suitable conditions.
