- Hi,
I suffered from these boundary issues a lot. First of all, it will not converge in one iteration. Secondly, the populations you see in the output is actually a non-self-consistent solution of a Kohn-Sham equation which will be mixed with existing charge density according to your mixing rules. Third, it does not look like it will converge to 1e-6: the 90 Band iterations converged only to 7e-3 and NEGF are usually even worse than that. Finally, you specified a charged system. The charged systems are usually a problem to DFT and a huge pain in NEGF.
So my suggestions are:
- remove charge from the system: it has no effect on NEGF anyway but it will help you with PBC DFT; - "scf.Kgrid 200 4 4" and "NEGF.tran.Kgrid 10 10" should be changed to the same-size k-mesh. 4x4 is obviously cheaper; - perform at least 10 iterations to see the trend.
Good luck with that.

- Thanks Artem,
Does the NEGF.tran.Kgrid play any role in the SCF of the electronic structure step? I assumed that it only affects the 3rd step when actually calculating the conductance points after convergence has been achieved.
I wanted to post more iterations, but it seems the forums have a cap on the number of lines and the frequency of which I can post =p 7 iterations in have helped somewhat, but still I thought there might be a faster way to reach convergence if I solved the boundary issues during the transition from Band to NEGF. 10 hours per iteration is quite a painful process.

I'll try with a lower threshold, but I always have the problem that my calculations end up just converging during the Band iterations and never actually making the transition to NEGF. Probably setting an arbitrary number of NEGF.scf.Iter.band is not the most optimal solution. Do you have any suggestion for that or is it mostly a manual trial and error process?
Really appreciate your suggestions. Will try them out and let you know again.
Best regards, Aaron

- NEGF.tran.Kgrid does play a role in DFT NEGF part of calculation since your system is still periodic in two dimensions.
To converge NEGF calculation you basically perform the same steps as for any other DFT. The problem is that NEGF is very resource-consuming and you have one more parameter to saturate: the width of your scattering region.
Regarding your input file: with scf.Mixing.History 40 you should probably wait at least 40 NEGF iterations to be able to judge on convergence, if possible of course.
I would also suggest you to try different approaches/codes: - SIESTA code has 'buffer' atoms to help transition from PBC steps to NEGF - DFTB is an almost-DFT code for large and huge systems (also has NEGF capability) - you may also try to avoid NEGF by calculating a large enough PBC Hamiltonian and extracting scattering region properties from there.
Hope that helps.

- Oh, then what is the difference between NEGF.scf.Kgrid and NEGF.trans.Kgrid? I may be inputting something wrong here.
I had actually doubled my original scattering region width earlier, but only managed to succeed in making it even more resource intensive. Seems like I will have to wait it out for now then.
Thanks for the suggestions once again. Has been most helpful.

- I am sorry, I meant NEGF.scf.Kgrid in my post. NEGF.tran.Kgrid is for transmission calculations and it is ignored by 'openmx' executable.
