Abstract We theoretically investigate the transmission probability, the conductance as well as the spin polarization of the electrons in a nanostructure with the periodic magnetic–electric barriers. These observable quantities are found to be strongly affected by both the magnetic configuration and the number of the periodic magnetic–electric barriers. When the number of periods increases, the resonance splitting increases.
