Abstract:
Tunneling and the Goos-Hänchen-like (GHL) shifts of quasiparticles through double rectangular potential barriers in mono-layer graphene under uniaxial strain were considered. Expressions for the transmission coefficient and the lateral shift of the transferred beam were obtained by considering the boundary conditions and the stationary phase method, respectively. Moreover, the numerical results of the transmission probability and the lateral shifts for three values of the merging parameter,δwere presented. It was observed, for two values ofδ, very large shifts could be obtained and we found the demeanor of the GHL shift is adjustable by changing parameters and is influenced strongly byδ. Finally, our calculations were examined by the limit condition in accordance with the results obtained for a single barrier in presence of the strong uniaxial strain.

Schottky Barriers
Schottky barriers arise when a metal with a work function (Φm) contacts a semiconductor with a different work function (Φs). Initially, electrons transfer until the Fermi levels of the metal and semiconductor align at equilibrium. For instance, if Φm > Φs, the semiconductor Fermi level is higher than the metal's before contact. The...

Thermal Sigmatropic Reactions: Overview
Sigmatropic shifts are classified based on an order term [i, j ], where i and j indicate the number of atoms across which each end of the σ bond migrates. Below are examples of a [3,3] sigmatropic shift in 1,5-hexadiene, referred...
