Title: how to set the initial spin of left and right electrode in the 12.2.8 version
Post by: njuxyh on May 10, 2013, 11:45

i saw the example in the http:// http://quantumwise.com/publications/tutorials/mini-tutorials/94-transmission-spectrum-of-a-spin-polarized-atomic-chain.
and found in the step of initial spin setup, the initial spin can only be setted in the interaction region including scatter region and left(right) eletrode copy.

as i know, the left and right electrodes are exactly the same with the corresponding copies in the interaction region.

so it means if i set the initial spin of the electrode copy, there  is no need to set the electrode again?

is that so?

Correct. The electrodes get the initial spin from the electrode copies.
