Hi,

1. Great that you are using buffer atoms to get the *correct* behaviour of
your electrodes
2. However, you are using MoS2 as electrodes, which is semiconducting. This
is not a good idea since the NEGF formalism requires the electrodes are
*bulk-like* and this cannot be enforced if the screening distance is very
long. This is the case for semi-conducting electrodes.
3. Your other convergence parameters are very low, you really should first
converge the basic MoS2 setup for k-points, mesh-cutoff etc. but in
general, if you have semi-conducting electrodes, you shouldn't use NEGF
unless you are being really careful. :)
