ABSTRACT

Chapter 1 deals with steady-state chiral tunneling. We have

concluded that the transmission probability is ideal (T = 1) if the momentum of an incident electron is directed perpendicular

to the chiral barrier, which constitutes the Klein paradox. Another

interesting moment is that an incident electron is converted into

a hole inside the chiral barrier. However, if the angle of incidence

is finite, the elementary excitation represents a combination of the

electron and the hole which propagate over two different A and B

sublattices.
