Resonant peak splitting for ballistic conductance in magnetic superlattices

We investigate theoretically the resonant splitting of ballistic conductance peaks in magnetic superlattices. It is found that, for magnetic superlattices with periodically arranged $n$ identical magnetic-barriers, there exists a general $(n-1)$-fold resonant peak splitting rule for ballistic conductance, which is the analogy of the $(n-1)$-fold resonant splitting for transmission in $n$-barrier electric superlattices (R. Tsu and L. Esaki, Appl. Phys. Lett. {\bf 22}, 562 (1973)).
