[Pw_forum] electrical conductivity

[Amin Babazadeh]

Dear Dr.Alexandre
Thanks a lot for your recommendation.But i have one more question.would you
please give some references for theory of calculation of transmission
coefficient by using scattering.I read your paper (Complex band structure
with ultrasoft pseudopotential:fcc Ni ...) and it was so helpful for
understanding the theory of calculating complex band structure.but now i am
interesting to know how we can use the complex band structure to find
transmission coefficient.
sincerely yours
