Title: about the formulisms of transmission coefficient and conductance
Post by: Yu Hailin on April 27, 2012, 09:01

Dear all,

I want to know the formulisms to calculate the transmission coefficient and conductance in ATK.  In some refernces, the conductance is equal to e*e*T(Ef)/h, where T(Ef) is the transmission coefficient at Fermi level. But in ATK, the units of transmission coefficient is 2*e/h, so I want to know the formulism to calulate the transmission coefficient and conductance. Thanks in advance.

Best Rgards!

The conductance is e*e/h T(ef) per spin channel, for 2 similar spin channels this gives 2 e*e/h T(ef)
