Title: Self energy calculator for transmission pathways
Post by: asanchez on June 11, 2015, 17:06

Hi,

I've been reading around about self energy calculators and found that in this thread:

http://quantumwise.com/forum/index.php?topic=3178

Dr. Anders Blom mentions that the Direct calculator is mostly included for historical reasons and that Recursion should be the standard reliable calculator. So my question is:

Is there a reason why the default calculator for TransmissionPathways is DirectSelfEnergy()?

For TransmissionSpectrum the default is RecursionSelfEnergy() in agreement with Dr. Blom's post.

Thanks for your help

We'll check and probably change the default in 2015 to Recursion. Well spotted, thanks for telling us.
