Probing topological phase transition in silicene via Klein tunneling in a normal/ferromagnetic/normal silicene junction

The two apparently disparate phenomena, viz. the Klein tunneling and the electric field driven topological phase transition(TPT), exhibited by the silicene converge on the issue of the no change in the pseudo-spin. An ensuing possibility is that the former, in the case of a normal/magnetic/normal silicene junction, may be considered theoretically as a probe to ascertain the onset of the latter. In this communication, we explore this option and calculate the total transmission probability(TTP). We find that TPT is characterized by a cusp in a plot of TTP as a function of the electric field.
