Dear Ticu,

I dont know english, so i can not help completely. I have litle experience
with transport calculations. I am newbie in the subject. But...

I dont know a tutorial which explains all what you needs. I have do the
following:

a) Using the ase-gui i generates the coordinates for left electrode + left
layers of the extended molecule (
https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/ase/ase/gui/gui.html)

b) Using the coordinates of (a) i use the chemcraft program (
http://www.chemcraftprog.com/) and add the central molecule.


c) Using a shell script or libreoffice calc i make the right layers of the
extended molecule + right electrode, this from translacional shifts of the
counterparts of the left.

I hope this helps.

Regards.

Leone Carmo Garcia
