▎ 摘  要

The important experimental advances in graphene fabrication and its peculiar transport properties motivated researchers to utilize graphene as a potential basis for the next generation of fast and smart electronic devices. In this article, we investigate the influence of a potential substrate on the transport properties of a biased M-stacked n-p-n bilayer graphene junction (AA-BLG). Using the Dirac Hamiltonian with the transfer matrix approach we obtain the transmission probabilities and thus the respective conductance. In the presence of the induced mass-term the energy spectrum and the intra-cone transmission drastically change while the inter-cone transmission remains zero. On the other hand, the bias slightly alters the energy spectrum but it significantly affects the transport properties due to its ability to switch on the inter-cone transmission. In addition, we find that Klein tunnelling is attenuated in the presence of the induced mass-term which can improve the carriers confinement in such configurations. Our findings provide possible experimental measurements to determine the interlayer coupling and the induced mass terms in graphene bilayer based on conductance and band structure measurements.
