Parameters for calculating currentDensity

Current density provides a vivid picture on transport. Parameters here are for calculating the current density inside the scattering region of the device.

calculation.currentDensity.plot

key word

:

calculation.currentDensity.plot

possible values

:

true or false

default value

:

false

description

:

If true, a plot will be given after the calculation.

Note: current density can only be calculated with the

following system restrictions:

  1. ell of basis <= 1 (systems involving up to p-orbital);

  1. left_lead - central_region - right_lead system;

  1. orthogonal cell box;

  1. Gamma point only.

an example

:

calculation.currentDensity.plot = true
