Dear community.

We hereby announce an upcoming workshop related to the tool-suite TBtrans + TranSiesta and its Python offspring, sisl.

Our workshop

"Multi-electrode nanoscale transport with non-equilibrium Greens functions: From tight-binding to DFT"

will be held in Denmark, DTU Nanotech (Lyngby) on the 25-27 of October 2017.

This is the second time this workshop will take place (first time was in Barcelona @ ICN2 in 2016).

The workshop is aimed at teaching participants the usage of the three combined tools:

1. TBtrans (NEGF transport calculator for N-electrodes)

2. TranSiesta (DFT+NEGF method for N-electrodes)

3. sisl (Python tool for manipulating DFT Hamiltonians, creating tight-binding Hamiltonians and subsequent data analysis)

This years workshop will learn attendees the basics of:

- Calculate transport properties of tight-binding and DFT Hamiltonians

- Creating exa-scale tight-binding systems for transport calculations

- Perform DFT+NEGF calculations for N-electrodes

Our tutorials will mainly be focused on chain systems and graphene.

Participation in the workshop is free and lunches are also included.

The participants are themselves responsible for everything else.

Registration and information regarding the workshop can be found here, and the flyer with relevant information for the workshop is attached.

Workshop organizers (DTU Nanotech and Center for Nanostructured Graphene):

Dr. Nick Papior, Technical University of Denmark (DTU)

Prof. Mads Brandbyge, Technical University of Denmark (DTU)

We hope to see you on the 25-27 of October!
