Title: Quantum transport calculations using periodic boundaryconditions

Journal Article · · Physical Review B
OSTI ID:861195

An efficient new method is presented to calculate the quantum transports using periodic boundary conditions. This method allows the use of conventional ground state ab initio programs without big changes. The computational effort is only a few times of a normal groundstate calculations, thus is makes accurate quantum transport calculations for large systems possible.
