[DFTB-Plus-User] single molecule transmission

Dear Raha,

I ran the calculation with a k-point separation of 0.02 1/Å.

I had a quick  comparison between our input files.
I am running with a significantly larger structure. I noticed that you only have about 80 atoms in your electrode. Are you sure that is big enough? My electrode is about 120 atoms, the Materials Studio setup automatically calculate a safe electrode size using the skf input and expands the initial structure to allow for the larger electrode. So my calculation had larger electrodes and a longer device section.

I attached the hsd file used for the transmission calculation.

Best Regards,
Martin

Dear Martin,
Thanks a lot for your email. Quite interesting!! Here is attached the final transmission plot for my calculation in addition to input files. I also used mio parameter set.
May I ask you which k-point sampling did you use? I am trying to change different parameters to find the solution.
Best,
Raha

I took your geometry and ran it through the Materials Studio version of DFTB+ using the mio library.
I don’t get any peak at the Fermi level.

Martin

Dear Alessandro,
Very thanks for your kind helping. It worked well. I changed the geometry and found the transmission  (here is attached) but i am not sure whether it is correct or not. It seems to have a peak at fermi level means the structure behaves metallic that may not be in agreement with DFT calculation for benzene+cnt electrodes (J. Phys. Chem. A 2009, 113, 4100–4104). It will be very kind of to help me in this case.
Best regards,
Raha

Dear Raha,

I have encountered this issue before. I think your only problem is the ordering of the atoms of your contacts.
Please, have a look at section 2.1.1.2 of this guide<http://www.dftb-plus.info/fileadmin/DFTB-Plus/public/recipes-negf/html/transport/specifying_geometry.html>

Hello!
I am trying to find transmission of a single molecule sandwiched between two CNT electrodes. My calculations got converged but the final transmission order is very low, almost zero.
Here are attached the input and ouput files. Any help will be really appreciated.
Best regards,
Raha
