NEGF Convergence problem
Date: 2014/06/05 17:59
Name: Umar   <umarfarooqphysics@gmail.com>

dear sir,
first of all thanks for helping me in CN case i am quite successful in calculating I-V curve up to .5 V for spin dependent case with uour help
I am working on Ni-Gr-Co (Ni-C-Co) system as Ni and Co are magnetic material i have a problem that i am unable to set the mixing parameters to get convergence state even at zero bias for NEGF calculation from many days i tried many options
but still system not seems to b converging pleas if any body expert can help me



this is my input file
