Challenges in observation of klein tunneling
In the past eighty years, Klein tunneling has never been directly observed for elementary particles.
It is not feasible to create such a barrier for free electrons due to the enormous electric fields required.

Nature Phys. 2, 222 (2009)
disadvantages:
i) Disorder, hard to realize full ballistic transport
ii) Massive cases can’t be directly tested
iii) 2D system, hard to distinguish perfect from near-perfect transmission
The transmission probability crucially depends on the incident angle

• NonAbelian gauge field
Interesting results: the parameters in the effective Hamiltonian are tunable masse less and massive Dirac particles
