Abstract

In this work, we find the exact transmission coefficient across one and two potential barriers in graphene. We obtain theoretical expressions for this coefficient in terms of the characteristics of the potential barriers, height, width and separation and the characteristics of the carriers, Fermi energy and incidence angle. This coefficient is essential in order to characterize the conductance in several electronic devices based on graphene. Since the calculated transmission coefficient is highly non-isotropic, we extend the Landauer formalism and obtain a closed expression for transistor conductance.
