We present a semiclassical analysis of Dirac electron tunnelling in a graphene monolayer with mass gap through a smooth potential barrier in the ballistic regime. This 1D scattering problem is formulated in terms of a transfer matrix and treated in the WKB approximation. For a skew electron incidence this WKB approximation deals, in general, with four turning points. Between the first and the second, and the third and the fourth, turning points two tunnelling domains are observed. Scattering through a smooth barrier in graphene resembles scattering through a double barrier for the 1D Schr¨odinger operator, i.e. a Fabry-Perot resonator. The main results of the paper are WKB formulas for the entries of the barrier transfer matrix which explain the mechanism of total transmission through the barrier in a graphene monolayer with mass gap for some resonance values of energy of a skew incident electron. Moreover, we show the existence of modes localized within the barrier and exponentially decaying away from it and its behaviour depending on mass gap. There are two sets of energy eigenlevels, complex with small imaginary part and real, determined by a Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization condition, above and below the cut-off energy. It is shown that total transmission through the barrier takes place when the energy of the incident electron coincides with the real part of one of the complex energy eigenlevels. These facts were confirmed by numerical simulations performed using the finite element method (COMSOL).
Keywords: Graphene monolayer with mass gap, high-energy eigenstates, semiclassical approximation, generalized Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization condition.

I was reading through some of your posts on this internet site and I conceive this site is rattling instructive! Continue posting.
great put up, very informative. I’m wondering why the opposite experts of this sector do not understand this. You must continue your writing. I am sure, you’ve a huge readers’ base already!
I?¦m now not positive the place you are getting your information, however good topic. I needs to spend a while finding out much more or figuring out more. Thank you for magnificent information I used to be looking for this information for my mission.
I like this blog very much, Its a real nice situation to read and receive information.
Does your blog have a contact page? I’m having a tough time locating it but, I’d like to send you an e-mail. I’ve got some creative ideas for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great website and I look forward to seeing it develop over time.

Enjoyed reading through this, very good stuff, thanks.
I have been absent for a while, but now I remember why I used to love this site. Thanks, I’ll try and check back more often. How frequently you update your site?

Great V I should certainly pronounce, impressed with your site. I had no trouble navigating through all tabs and related info ended up being truly easy to do to access. I recently found what I hoped for before you know it in the least. Quite unusual. Is likely to appreciate it for those who add forums or anything, website theme . a tones way for your client to communicate. Nice task..
I have to show some thanks to you just for rescuing me from such a condition. As a result of surfing throughout the the net and getting basics which were not productive, I believed my entire life was done. Existing without the approaches to the problems you’ve sorted out through your website is a serious case, and those which might have adversely damaged my career if I hadn’t noticed your web blog. Your primary skills and kindness in maneuvering every part was very helpful. I’m not sure what I would have done if I hadn’t discovered such a point like this. It’s possible to at this moment look forward to my future. Thanks for your time very much for the professional and effective guide. I won’t think twice to endorse the website to any individual who wants and needs assistance on this situation.
Pretty! This was a really wonderful post. Thank you for your provided information.
I have read a few just right stuff here. Certainly price bookmarking for revisiting. I surprise how so much attempt you put to create such a great informative site.
