Straightforward Probing of Polarization and Spin-Resolved Transmission through Potential Barriers in Silicene

The low-energy physics of silicene is described by Dirac electrons with a strong spin-orbit interaction and its band structure can be controlled by an external electric field Ez. We evaluate the electronic transmission through single and double barriers in silicene as a function of the angle of inci...
