Resonant Tunneling through double-bended Graphene Nanoribbons
We investigate theoretically resonant tunneling through double-bended
graphene nanoribbon structures, i.e., armchair-edged graphene nanoribbons
(AGNRs) in between two semi-infinite zigzag graphene nanoribbon (ZGNR) leads.
Our numerical results demonstrate that the resonant tunneling can be tuned
dramatically by the Fermi energy and the length and/or widths of the AGNR for
both the metallic and semiconductor-like AGNRs. The structure can also be use
to control the valley polarization of the tunneling currents and could be
useful for potential application in valleytronics devices.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Resonant Tunneling through S- and U-shaped Graphene Nanoribbons
We theoretically investigate resonant tunneling through S- and U-shaped
nanostructured graphene nanoribbons. A rich structure of resonant tunneling
peaks are found eminating from different quasi-bound states in the middle
region. The tunneling current can be turned on and off by varying the Fermi
energy. Tunability of resonant tunneling is realized by changing the width of
the left and/or right leads and without the use of any external gates.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figure
Vacuum Energy Density and Cosmological Constant in dS Brane World
We discuss the vacuum energy density and the cosmological constant of dS
brane world with a dilaton field. It is shown that a stable AdS brane can
be constructed and gravity localization can be realized. An explicit relation
between the dS bulk cosmological constant and the brane cosmological constant
is obtained. The discrete mass spectrum of the massive scalar field in the
AdS brane is used to acquire the relationship between the brane
cosmological constant and the vacuum energy density. The vacuum energy density
in the brane gotten by this method is in agreement with astronomical
observations.Comment: 16 pages,4 figure
OPERA superluminal neutrinos and Kinematics in Finsler spacetime
The OPERA collaboration recently reported that muon neutrinos could be
superluminal. More recently, Cohen and Glashow pointed that such superluminal
neutrinos would be suppressed since they lose their energies rapidly via
bremsstrahlung. In this Letter, we propose that Finslerian nature of spacetime
could account for the superluminal phenomena of particles. The Finsler
spacetime permits the existence of superluminal behavior of particles while the
casuality still holds. A new dispersion relation is obtained in a class of
Finsler spacetime. It is shown that the superluminal speed is linearly
dependent on the energy per unit mass of the particle. We find that such a
superluminal speed formula is consistent with data of OPERA, MINOS and
Fermilab-1979 neutrino experiments as well as observations on neutrinos from
SN1987a.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figures. Viewpoints of Finslerian special relativity on
