 Name: Tom
 
Dear sir:When I use openMX to calculate Transport Properties with NEGF,there is one error interrupts the process.
 I would appreciate it if you could help me with this.
 
 
 The error is as follows:
 
 TRAN_Check_Region()
 
 The length between atomA=17(region C) and atomB=1(region L) is too short for the transport calculation.
 distance=11.183786 rcutA=7.000000 rcutB=7.000000
 
 ERROR: PAOs of atoms of L|C|R can overlap only to the next nearest region.
