Dear Jose A. Torres:

 

    Thank you very much again!

    I also several questions for these.

In the TRANSIESTA-manual, it mentions:" In the case of tbtrans, the k-point 
sampling has to be specified also using a kgrid_Monkhorst_Pack block, and can 
differ from the sampling that was used in the TRANSIESTA calculation. The 
convergence of the transmission function with respect to the k sampling can be 
slower than the one for the density matrix. This means that one may have to 
increase the number of k-points used in tbtrans." Did it mean that we adopt the 
dense k-mesh for the tbtrans calcualtion after the Transiesta calculation? 

 

I do find that, for the special TSTBT.NPoints, the varied k-mesh in the 
xy-plane generate the changed current.

For examplefor the tbtrans calcultions:

v   -1.0 eV

TSTBT.NPoints  1500

k-mesh 6x6x50

I=-3.17E-16

 

where:

v   -1.0 eV

TSTBT.NPoints  1500

k-mesh 6x6x70

I=-3.17E-16

 

where:

 

v   -1.0 eV

TSTBT.NPoints  1500

k-mesh 7x7x60

I=-2.94E-16

 

where:

 v   -1.0 eV

TSTBT.NPoints  1500

k-mesh 8x8x60

I=-3.59E-16

 

If i should check both the k-mesh and TSTBT.NPoints  for the calculated current?

 

Thank you in advance!

 

Sincerely,

 

Mengqiu
