a question about transmission spectrum
« on: March 11, 2011, 15:52 »
Dear everyone:
              i have a question about transmission spectrum. In my opinion, a transmission channel has a maximum quantum conductance G0, Consider a channel with two spin-degenerate levels, the maximum quantum conductance is 2G0,

in my two probe system, i calculate the transmission spectrum from -2eV to 2eV,

the question is :

the transmission coefficient from -1.5eV to 1eV is larger than 2, is it right?

The value of transmission coefficient is not determined by the calculated energy range. For a ballistic transport, the quantum conductance can be evaluated roughly from the number of bands crossing the Fermi level.

thank you zh
how to evaluated  from the number of bands crossing the Fermi level? can you give me some references? thank you
