T(E) or Ge(E)
« on: February 10, 2017, 21:13 »
In the manual

http://docs.quantumwise.com/manuals/Types/TransmissionSpectrum/TransmissionSpectrum.html
mentions A fully transmitting channel contributes 1 per spin. If you sum the spin channels, the total transmission of an ideal system is 2. Often, it is the energy dependent conductance which is reported in articles

Ge(E)=(e^2/h)T(E)

If total transmission of an ideal system is 2, what does quantumwise actually plot for the transmission spectra T(e) or Ge(E) ?

Because in many cases the value of transmission is well in excess of 2.

Asked and answered many times. There can be many channels at any energy, for instance px and py.

Okay, my bad. So it is indeed the T(E).
