Simulations of the transport of electrons through molecular and atomic nanodevices

  • 1. INPE, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Slovak University of Technology, 81219 Bratislava (Slovakia)

Description

We have discussed the steps that involved in performing a simulation of transport properties of nanojunctions from the first principles. We have explained the construction of the model using a periodic box and described the utilization of the ground state DFT for finding the atomic geometry of the nanojunction and the following transmission calculations. The obtainable as well as potential problems related to the quality of the involved approximations were discussed. (authors)
