2016.4 vs 2018.06 sp1
« on: September 21, 2018, 14:20 »
Hello,
I performed the NEGF calculation (IV-Characteristics)  and transmisionspectrum....
But results are different from each other...default settings are almost same 2018.06 with 2016.4..
Why? which is more accurate?
Can you help me?

There are at least two defaults that have been changed: pseudopotential/basis set (FHI/DZP in 2016.4) and electron temperature (300K in 2016.4) .

In 2018, 'Electron temperature' parameter is called 'Broadening' (which is 1000 K in 2018) to reflect the fact that this is not a real electron temperature, but rather a numerical parameter to make SCF convergence smoother with respect to the number of k-points.

In 2018, the default pseudopotential/basis set is pseudoDojo/Medium.
