▎ 摘  要

Resonant tunneling through symmetric and asymmetric double barriers based on monolayer graphene at non-normal incidence is investigated. Due to the evanescent modes inside the barrier, the transmission, as a function of the incident energy, has a gap which can be tuned by the height of the barrier and the incident angle of the electrons. In terms of the coupling between the barriers and the well in the symmetric double barriers, several line-type resonance peaks with a unity value appear in the transmission gap, and the number of the resonance peaks is closely related to the incident angle, the height, and the width of the barrier. The resonant conditions in the transmission gap are derived and discussed. However, the line-type resonance peaks are greatly suppressed through the asymmetric double barriers. The authors demonstrate that line-type peaks possess potential applications in resonant tunneling devices and energy filters. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi: 10.1063/1.3601110]
