Dear Paul, Without a magnetic field, the conductance from 0 to 1 is the same as from 1 to 0.
Positive bias and negative bias do not lead to the same result if you mean by that: Ef+ev for positive bias and Ef-ev for negative bias. If you provide a small script, your issue may be more clear. I hope this helps, Adel On Mon, Dec 9, 2019 at 11:54 PM Paul Anderson <p...@pmanderson.com> wrote: > Hello, I'm trying to study a chain of molecules, say A-B-C-D, each with a > unique onsite energy and hopping parameter associated to the adjacent site. > Electrodes are connected in the conventional way ...-x-x-x-A-B-C-D-x-x-x.... > I would like to produce an I-V curve using Landauer Formula from -1V > to +1V.
