Dear All,

Here I quote part of a terminated transiesta output (under siesta_trunk_462 environment). In this specific calculation, the left electrode contains 6 layers (4x4 atoms per gold layer) and 1 tip layer (3 gold atoms). When I compare "structure of the Left electrode" with "system electrode", the "system electrode" reflects the first 2 layers of 4x4 atoms, while the "structure of the Left electrode" only recognizes the first 13 atoms out of 16 atoms in the first layer. Is this the problem that the error message "The electrodes are not situated in the same coordinates" refers to?

You will be appreciated for your any comments on how to fix this issue? Cheers!

Jin

It really does mean:
'The electrodes are not situated in the same coordinates.'
The electrode atomic coordinates (from the separate electrode calculation) does not match the electrode atomic coordinates in the system calculation.

Transiesta (the trunk version) is so kind to actually print out the electrode coordinates... So you could just copy-paste those...

I can't remember how it worked in 3.2... But try a wrong electrode coordinate to see if it checks the coordinates at all. :)

    Dear All,

    I did my transiesta calculations with Siesta 3.2. All ran well! At
    least, I didn't see any error messages. However when I test these
    same jobs with Siesta-trunk-462, I get the error message 'The
    electrodes are not situated in the same coordinates. Please correct.'

    Can anyone explain what it means? Any hints on how I should check
    my electrode coordinates? I feel a bit lost since I quoted this
    set of electrode coordinates from a previous article published by
    other group.

    Cheers!
