Transmission eigenchannels from non-equilibrium Green's functions
Abstract
The concept of transmission eigenchannels is described in a tight-binding nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) framework. A simple procedure for calculating the eigenchannels is derived using only the properties of the device subspace and quantities normally available in a NEGF calculation. The method is exemplified by visualization in real-space of the eigenchannels for three different molecular and atomic-wires.
