Abstract

•Transport is studied in a graphene modulated by realistic magnetic field and electrical barrier.•Electron transport properties are strikingly controlled by the incident angle of carriers.•Electron transport properties depend on the height, position as well as width of the barrier.•These are very helpful for designing the graphene-based nanodevices.

Based on the transfer-matrix method, a systematic investigation of electron transport properties is done in a monolayer graphene modulated by the realistic magnetic field and the Schottky metal stripe. The strong dependence of the electron transmission and the conductance on the incident angle of carriers is clearly seen. The height, position as well as width of the barrier also play an important role on the electron transport properties. These interesting results are very useful for understanding the tunneling mechanism in the monolayer graphene and helpful for designing the graphene-based electrical device modulated by the realistic magnetic field and the electrical barrier.
