Abstract
We have reported a comparative study of the relativistic and non-relat ivistic Landauer resistances (LR) of Thue-Morse (TM) lattices. The TM lattice treated by us consists of rectangular potential barriers, with their centres distributed according to TM sequence. The purpose behin d our study is to examine how the relativistic impact on the LR of TM lattice depends on the energy of the electrons and various parameters related to the TM lattice. Among other things, we find that the relati vistic impact increases with increase in the number of barriers in the TM lattice and reduction in the width of barriers.
