Tunneling and transmission resonances of a Dirac particle by a double barrier

We calculate the tunneling process of a Dirac particle across two square barriers separated by a distance d, as well as the scattering by a double-cusp barrier, where the centers of the cusps are separated by a distance larger than their screening lengths. Using the scattering matrix formalism, we obtain the transmission and reflection amplitudes for the scattering processes of both configurations. We show that the presence of transmission resonances modifies the Lorentzian shape of the energy resonances and induces the appearance of additional maxima in the transmission coefficient in the range of energies where transmission resonances occur. We calculate the Wigner time delay and show how their maxima depend on the position of the transmission resonance.
