الوصف: | Klein's paradox refers to the transmission of a relativistic particle through a high potential barrier. Although it has a simple resolution in terms of particle-to-antiparticle tunneling (Klein tunneling), debates on its physical meaning seem lasting partially due to the lack of direct experimental verification. In this article, we point out that honeycomb-type photonic crystals (PhCs) provide an ideal platform to investigate the nature of Klein tunneling, where the effective Dirac mass can be tuned in a relatively easy way from a positive value (trivial PhC) to a negative value (topological PhC) via a zero-mass case (PhC graphene). Especially, we show that analysis of the transmission between domains with opposite Dirac masses -- a case hardly be treated within the scheme available so far -- sheds new light on the understanding of the Klein tunneling. Comment: 18 pages, 6 figures |
