Tunnelling through finite graphene superlattices: resonance splitting effect

An exact expression of the transmission probability through a finite graphene superlattice with an arbitrary number of potential barriers $n$ is derived in two cases of the periodic potential: rectangular electric potential and $\delta$-function magnetic potential. Obtained transmission probabilities show two types of resonance energy: barrier-induced resonance energies unchanged as $n$ varies and well-induced resonance energies undergone the $(n - 1)$-fold splitting as $n$ increases. Supported by numerical calculations for various types of graphene superlattices, these analytical findings are assumed to be in equal applied to all of finite graphene superlattices regardless of potential natures [electric or magnetic] as well as potential barrier shapes.
