« on: September 11, 2010, 12:47 »
Help:I finished the caculation of the transmission spectrum about the carbon nanotube,but the output file displays some negative values.I want to know why.

I will appreciate for your help!

It may be due to the issue of Krylov algorithm.
It is expected that using recursion algorithm alternatively will avoid this issue.

It would be a great help, if you could provide the script for setting up this calculation, so I can try to track it down.
If you do not want to share it on the forum, you can just send it directly to QuantumWise.
