▎ 摘  要

The general expressions for transmission probability and resonant peaks in one-dimensional N-periods graphene superlattice with unit cell of two barriers and two wells are analytically derived, and two types of resonant peaks are obtained: (1) the periodicity induced resonant peaks splitting of (N-1)-fold as N increases; and (2) the resonant peak through a unit cell unchanged as N varies. As the two-barriers in unit cell become asymmetric, the resonance transmission probability of unit cell becomes imperfect (T-1<1), which drops quickly with the unit asymmetry increases. Thus, the unit cell related resonant peak could only be observed in superlattices with less unit cell asymmetry of a few of period numbers. With the period increases, the unit related resonant peak disappears and only periodicity induced (N-1)-fold splitting remains. The splitting rule is further confirmed by the conductance and noise versus the incident energy and the misunderstandings in publication domain is cleared up.
