General Questions and Answers / the reliability of Huckel method on the calculation of IV curve
« on: June 2, 2017, 03:29 »
Dear experts,
Who can tell me something about the reliability of the IV curves calculated using ATK SE: Extended Huckel method?
It's much faster than DFT method as calculating the IV curve of devices. In many cases, it's almost mission impossible to use DFT methods to calculate the multi-points IV curves for a device with many atoms on a local computer, even on a small computer cluster. Thus, ATK SE: Extended Huckel method could be the only choice if there is no suitable Slater-Korster basis set for a particular system.
However, I want to know the difference between the results calculated using DFT or Huckel method. Who can give me some comments on the reliability of the transmission spectrum calculated using Huckel method? or tell me where to find such information?
Thank you very much for your time!
