Dear Siesta Users,
I'm trying to understand the particular shape chosen for the contour
integration for the density matrix in transiesta. I've already read
the paper where the method is explained [Phys. Rev. B 65, 165401
(2002); pag 5, fig 2] but there the contour is only mentioned, not
explained. I didn't find this contour in the literature I've found
about contour integration in NEGF calculations.

I think that the answer must be very easy for the well documented
user, so I ask you to share with me your knowledge or a reference
where this particular shape for the contour integration is justified.

Regards

Juan Manuel
