Transport through correlated systems with density functional theory
Transport through correlated systems with density functional theory
We present recent advances in Density Functional Theory (DFT) for applications to the field of quantum transport, with particular emphasis on transport through strongly correlated systems. We review the foundations of the popular Landauer-B\"uttiker(LB)+DFT approach. This formalism, when using approximations to the exchange-correlation (xc) potential with steps at integer occupation, …
