Reflection coefficient
« on: May 10, 2009, 03:23 »
Hello, everybody,

This is not related to the usage of ATK and VNL. But I jut want to discuss with you about the problem of the calculation of reflection coefficient.

It is well known that transmission from left lead to right lead is calculated by T=Tr(Γ_L*G^R*Γ_R*G^A). And the reflection can be simply obtained by R=1-T.  However, I want to know, whether we can get it by R=Tr(Γ_L*G^R*Γ_L*G^A)?

I just want to understand something about the Landauer formula. Your answers are greatly appreciated.

Nobody knows this or is just unwilling to answer it?

I'm not sure but if the electrodes are homogeneous, Γ_L = Γ_R is approved.
It means that obviously reflection coefficient is NOT Tr(Γ_L*G^R*Γ_L*G^A).
