Current in *.current file from NEGF Date: 2014/02/07 05:31 Name: J   <wony65@gmail.com> Hi, I have a question about the exact meaning of current in *.current file. In the manual, it is the k resolved average current in Ampere. In principle, current for one spin is calculated by (e/h) x sum of 'T(E)x(Fermi function at source(E)-Fermi function at drain(E)) x dE' So, the current in *.current file is calculated from the above equation (using the transmission probability number in *.tran file) at 300K? if not, could you explain how the current is calculated? Thank you. jiwon

Re: Current in *.current file from NEGF ( No.1 ) Date: 2014/02/07 15:35 Name: T. Ozaki Hi, The current is calculated by Eq. (53) in the paper: http://www.openmx-square.org/tech_notes/NEGF.pdf Thus, one can easily decompose the total current into the k-resolved ones. Also, the electronic temperature used there can be specified in the input file. Regards, TO
