Title: How the left/right electrodes are modeled?
Post by: kaypu on March 7, 2015, 13:15

Dear QuantumWise staff:
    How the left/right electrodes are modeled? it is done through a self-energy(Recursion self-energy)? And i want to know which model is used for it (wide band approximation, absorbing potential, etc.) in ATK

Thanks

Have a look to our Reference Manual, in particular the The NEGF formalism in ATK (http://www.quantumwise.com/documents/manuals/latest/ReferenceManual/index.html/chap.negf.html) section.
