Silicene nanoribbons
« on: March 3, 2016, 10:05 »
Hello..my work is based on silicene nanoribbons in device configuration.
I would like to know that should rattle tool be used in bulk or after converting it to device from bulk?

Before, in bulk.

different basis types of huckel sets give unmatching results for thermoelectric properties of silicene nanoribbons..
i have tried all of them and my best thermoelectric results are coming with hoffman for silicon. is it fine? Shall i move further?

It is hard to say if your results with Hoffmann basis set is fine or not, unless they somehow compare well to literature values or higher-level theory, e.g. DFT. Perhaps parts of the calculation can be checked with DFT?
