Calculating phase-coherent quantum transport in nanoelectronics with ab initio quasiatomic orbital basis set

We present an efficient and accurate computational approach to study phase-coherent quantum transport in molecular and nanoscale electronics. We formulate a Green’s-function method in the recently developed ab initio nonorthogonal quasiatomic orbital basis set within the Landauer-Büttiker formalis...
