The spectra of the Dirac quasi-electrons transmission through the Fibonacci quasi-periodical superlattice (SL) are calculated and analyzed in the continuum model with the help of the transfer matrix method. The onedimensional SL based on a monolayer graphene modulated by the Fermi velocity barriers is studied. A new quasi-periodical factor is proposed to be considered. We show that the Fibonacci quasi-periodic modulation in graphene superlattices with the velocity barriers can be effectively realized by virtue of a difference in the velocity barrier values (no additional factor is needed and we keep in mind that not each factor can provide the quasi-periodicity). This fact is true for a case of normal incidence of quasi-electrons on a lattice. In contrast to the case of other types of the graphene SL spectra studied reveal the remarkable property, namely the periodic character over all the energy scale and the transmission coefficient doesn’t tend asymptotically to unity at rather large energies. Both the...
