Cutting-edge general-purpose first-principles quantum transport package 'NanoDCAL'
NanoDCAL / NanoDCAL+ (Advanced version of NanoDCAL)
Chemical calculation software / Capable of predicting non-equilibrium quantum transport of nanostructures including current-voltage characteristics of nanoscale devices.
NanoDCAL (Nano DFT Calculator) is implemented using the linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) approximation of NEGF-DFT. This product is a general-purpose tool for ab initio modeling of non-equilibrium quantum transport and has contributed to hundreds of scientific papers in various fields, including molecular electronics, nanotubes, topological insulators, batteries, magnetic tunnel junctions, and metallic grain boundaries.

Band calculation
-
Complex band calculation In general electronic state calculations, the usual band structure is computed, but in quantum transport, there is interest in complex band structures. Complex band structures consider states with complex wave numbers, such as evanescent waves observed in total reflection.
-
Conductive channel calculation We plot the number of Bloch states per unit cell. This information is useful for transport analysis, such as when used as electrodes in devices.
-
In NanoDCAL, you can perform electronic transport calculations for a 2-probe system.
-
The transmission spectrum can be interpreted as the probability of electrons with specific energy passing through the device.
