Questions and Answers / Re: Dipole Transition probability

« on: September 12, 2019, 15:51 »

At the moment, there is no implemented feature in QuantumATK to output dipole matrix elements, even so it is indeed computed in Optical Spectrum analysis object.

Questions and Answers / Re: Can ATK calculate local DOS of a bulk configuration?

« on: September 3, 2019, 20:07 »

For bulk configuration, one may use the PDOS analysis object to calculate local DOS, see https://docs.quantumatk.com/manual/Types/ProjectedDensityOfStates/ProjectedDensityOfStates.html.

Questions and Answers / Re: What‘s the difference between the PDOS of a bulk and the PLDOS of a device?

« on: September 3, 2019, 12:03 »

I have not seen your PLDOS, but, in general, one should be aware that PLDOS does not show any states in the central region that do not couple to either left or right electrode states.

You may have a look at our documentation, https://docs.quantumatk.com/tutorials/mobility/mobility.html and https://docs.quantumatk.com/manual/Types/Mobility/Mobility.html, for mobility functionality in QuantumATK.

Questions and Answers / Re: Li+

« on: July 19, 2019, 15:07 »

I guess it is technically possible for any element of the Periodic Table, including Li atoms. The question is whether doped Li is representative for Li+ in the particular study of interest, which is not described in the original post.

Please could you send your description of the bug together with the python scripts (and related log files) you used for computing fat band structures in QATK-2018 and 2019  to quantumatk-support@synopsys.com? Thank you.

Questions and Answers / Re: k-points for transport calculation

« on: July 16, 2019, 22:33 »

For modeling a single CNT, you should use a single (Gamma) k-point in the lateral directions, and check if the results converge with respect to vacuum padding thickness.

Questions and Answers / Re: k-points for transport calculation

« on: July 15, 2019, 09:12 »

It is required to accurately compute the Fermi energy in the electrodes. It is impossible to say exactly how many points you need, as it is a matter of convergence tests. Typically, if you have convergence issues with SCF device calculation, one of the possible reasons for that is inaccurately-computed Fermi level. In general, one should also converge the k-point sampling in the lateral directions as well - for CNT, that would just mean that you should have sufficiently thick vacuum padding around the tube to avoid spurious interaction between periodic images of CNT.
