▎ 摘  要

Based on the transmission coefficient of tunneling electrons, we have presented tunneling current and conductivity across a square-potential barrier for both graphene and alpha-T-3 lattices under a linearly polarized off-resonant dressing field. The presence of such a dressing field introduces an anisotropy factor in the energy dispersion of tunneling electrons so that the cross section of a Dirac cone appears as elliptical. Consequently, the field-polarization controlled major axis of the ellipse will be misaligned with the normal direction of a barrier layer in the tunneling system, which exhibits an asymmetric Klein paradox for an off-normal-direction tunneling. The resulting tunneling current in this system is calculated by using a transmission coefficient and a longitudinal group velocity (different from a longitudinal momentum) of electrons. By presenting numerically calculated tunneling conductivity modified by a laser dressing field, we demonstrate a significant enhancement of electrical conductivity by external laser-field intensity, which is expected to be crucial in the application of ultrafast optical modulation of optoelectronic devices for photodetection and fiber-optic communication.
