General Questions and Answers / How to repeat the electrode in device configuration
« on: June 22, 2020, 01:23 »
Hi,
I have been following this tutorial https://docs.quantumwise.com/tutorials/atk_transport_calculations/atk_transport_calculations.html to build a mono-layer WS2 device. When I tried to validate the electrode as mentioned in the tutorial, I get an error saying 'Some elements will be discarded in the self-energy calculation. It is recommended to repeat the electrode in the z-direction to reduce this error.' So I have been trying to increase the size of the electrode without any success. Even if I increase the length of the lattice along the Z direction, the default electrode length doesn't increase.
Do you know how to increase the electrode length along the z-direction?
Your help is very much appreciated! Thank you!
