Abstract.
Resonant peak splitting for ballistic conductance in finite electric superlattices (ES) and magnetic superlattices (MS) was investigated theoretically. It is shown that, for electron tunneling through the ES (MS) of identical n electric (magnetic) barriers, the resonance split of the conductance peak is (n–1)-fold; while for electron tunneling through the ES (MS) made of two different barriers, one resonant window of the former splits into two subwindows, within each of which the resonance split is (m–1)-fold, where m is the number of the renormalized building blocks consisting of two different barriers of the latter.
