Abstract
In this study, using the Dirac continuum model combined with the split-operator technique, we investigate the propagation dynamics of wave packets in graphene in the presence of circular potential barriers arranged in square and triangular geometries. Our results reveal a non-monotonic dependence of the wave packet transmission on the number of barrier rows along the propagation direction: the transmission initially decreases as rows of barriers are removed, but then increases again when additional rows are eliminated. To explain the observed nonlinear behavior, the time evolution of the transmission probability is analyzed, providing insight into the interplay between wave packet dynamics and the spatial arrangement of potential barriers. These findings offer a pathway for designing graphene-based devices with tunable transport properties through engineered potential landscapes.
