Hi again,

This question is sort of related to one of mye previous questions 
(https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01029.html) 
but I am writing it as a new one. The questions relates to the sites in the 
lead unit cell and the scattering matrix.

Say I have a system (simple 2D wire), where I have 3 sites in my unit cell (3 
orbitals). I then make a system at an energy which is so low that I only have 
one propagating mode in the system. If I then run

smatrix.lead_info[0]

it returns a 2x3 matrix (which corresponds to left/right going and number of 
orbitals). If I then run

smatrix.submatrix(0,0)

I only get one element, which orbital does this element "belong" to, or how 
does it relate to these orbitals? Is the scattering matrix the same for all 
orbitals? Is the probability of scattering from say orbital 1 in one lead to 
orbital 2 in another the same as from orbital 1 to orbital 1?

Hope my question makes sens.

Best regards,
Camilla
