Keyword descriptions

BANDWIDTH: integer = 0

Usage: BANDWIDTH

The number of neighboring unit cells that one unit cell interacts with. [Edit on GitHub]

INJECTING_CONTACT: logical = T

Lone keyword: T

whether or not the contact can inject electrons. [Edit on GitHub]

INJECTION_SIGN: enum = POSITIVE

Usage: INJECTION_SIGN

Valid values:

• POSITIVE When the contact unit cell is at the upper left corner of the Hamiltonian.

• NEGATIVE When the contact unit cell is at the lower right corner of the Hamiltonian.

Contact unit cell interacts with unit cells to the right (positive) or to the left (negative). [Edit on GitHub]

N_ATOMS: integer = 0

Usage: N_ATOMS

Number of atoms in the contact unit cell. [Edit on GitHub]

START: integer = 0

Usage: START

Index of the first atom in the contact unit cell. Set to 0 to define the contact unit cell as the first/last N_ATOMS of the structure (after cutout) [Edit on GitHub]
