how can i obtain the complex band structure of a zigzag gnr?only the normal band structure option is available

First of all you need to use 11.2.0 (make sure to upgrade to the final release, in case you have a preview version). But otherwise it should be one of the available Analysis options, provided your ribbon is constructed as a periodic BulkConfiguration (e.g. by using the Custom Builder "Graphene Ribbon"; for a zigzag ribbon, set n=m).

The important thing to remember is that the system must have the same properties as an electrode. Apart from the obvious things (periodic, and A/B vectors perpendicular to C=Z), it must also be "long enough" in Z; what long enough means is explained in great detail here: http://quantumwise.com/publications/tutorials/mini-tutorials/99

Hi Anders,

Is there any full tutorial for complex bandstructure calculation?

By the way, I know how to get K-dependent transmission coefficient with ATK. However, can we calculate K-dependent DOS for a two probe system?

Yes, I am also wondering how to calculate complex bandstructure with ATK...

I know you are waiting for this, but we've had reason to look a bit deeper into the code to understand a small issue with k-points and zone folding. It will not be a problem, once I finish the tutorial all will be clear, but it's taken a bit longer than expected due to this. Thanks for your patience!

Dear Anders,

Yes, it is always struggling when going deeply into theoretical area. Thanks very much for your efforts.

Regarding the k-dependent dos, this information is currently not available in the DeviceDensityOfStates module.

 

We can consider adding a functionality that allows to retrieve and save the k-dependent dos in one of the next version, however, it will require a large storage.
