Popis:	Photon-assisted charge transport through a double barrier structure under a time periodic field in graphene is studied. Within the framework of the Floquet formalism and using the transfer matrix method, the transmission probabilities for the central band and sidebands are calculated. A critical phase difference between the harmonic potentials at the barriers, which cancels transmission through the inelastic sidebands due to quantum interference is found. This phenomenon could be of help to design graphene based filters and high-frequency radiation detectors. Quenching of resonant tunneling by the harmonic field applied to the barriers or the well is also discussed. Comment: 5 pages, 8 figures
