▎ 摘  要

We study the electronic properties for the graphene-based one-dimensional superlattices, whose potential voltages vary according to the envelope of a Gaussian function. It is found that an unusual Dirac point exists and its location is exactly associated with a zero-averaged wave number (zero-(k) over bar) gap. This zero-(k) over bar gap is less sensitive to incident angle and lattice constants, properties opposing those of Bragg gap. The defect mode appearing inside the zero-(k) over bar gap has an effect on transmission, conductance, and shot noise, which will be useful for further investigation.
