摘要
We present results for the resonant electronic transmission through graphene-based single and double barriers as a function of the incident wave vector, the widths and heights of the barriers, and the separation between them. Resonant features in the transmission result from resonant electron states in the wells or hole states in the barriers and strongly influence the ballistic conductance of the structures.
