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!
