Statistical measures and the Klein tunneling in single-layer graphene

Sañudo, J. ; López-Ruiz, R. (Universidad de Zaragoza)

Resumen: Statistical complexity and Fisher–Shannon information are calculated in a problem of quantum scattering, namely the Klein tunneling across a potential barrier in graphene. The treatment of electron wave functions as masless Dirac fermions allows us to compute these statistical measures. The comparison of these magnitudes with the transmission coefficient through the barrier is performed. We show that these statistical measures take their minimum values in the situations of total transparency through the barrier, a phenomenon highly anisotropic for the Klein tunneling in graphene.
