Abstract

We study the tunneling of Dirac fermions in graphene through a double barrier potential. This is allowing the carriers to have an effective mass inside the barrier as generated by a lattice miss-match with the boron nitride substrate. The consequences of this gap opening on the transmission are investigated and the realization of resonant tunneling conditions is analyzed.
