I've computed the self-consistent charge density for a DeviceConfiguration using electrode_voltages =  (0.15*Volt, -0.15*Volt).

I then computed the TransmissionSpectrum using energies = np.linspace(-0.15,0.15,X). When I use the current() method I get on the current report a "Bias window covered" value of 87.55%

Why isn't this value 100%? Is there a broadening function or something being used that requires the TransmissionSpectrum to be calculated outside the electrode_voltages window?

Thanks in advance

Indeed, by the Fermi distribution.

Ah! For some reason I briefly forgot about that. Thanks!
