charge density rho(x,y,z) at an external bias??
« on: November 7, 2009, 23:32 »
Hi!

I wonder how I can get the numerical values of charge density rho(x,y,z) in the scattering region as a function of x, y, z  or rho(z) along the current flow at a specific external bias.

I would appreciate you if somebody can answer this question.

The electron density for whole system can obtained by using "calculateElectronDensity". The returned value of "calculateElectronDensity" is an array. The detailed explanation on it can be found in the manual:
http://quantumwise.com/documents/manuals/ATK-2008.10/ref.calculateelectrondensity.html.

One can manipulate this array and print out the data in his own style  using Nanolanguage (or Python)
