3.2. tkwant.leads – Time dependence and boundary conditions for leads

3.2.1. Adding time-dependence

add_voltage(syst, lead, phase)

Add a time-dependent voltage to a lead.

3.2.2. Boundary conditions

Boundary conditions for systems with leads attached; used with the solvers in tkwant.onebody.solver.

SimpleBoundary(num_buffer_cells[, tmax])	Boundary conditions consisting of N lead unit cells.
MonomialAbsorbingBoundary(num_absorb_cells, …)	Absorbing boundary conditions consisting of N lead unit cells.
GenericAbsorbingBoundary(num_absorb_cells, …)	Make an absorbing boundary from a user provided-absorbing potential.
automatic_boundary(leads, tmax[, refl_max, …])	Routine to find automatically a boundary condition such that the reflection amplitude \(r\) for a lead stays below a given value.

3.2.3. Analyse lead reflection

AbsorbingReflectionSolver(lead, …[, params])	Calculate the reflection amplitude \(r\) for a lead with imaginary absorbing potential.
AnalyzeReflection(lead, num_absorb_cells, …)	Analyze the the reflection for a lead.
AnalyzeReflectionMonomial(lead, …[, params])	Analyze the the reflection for a lead for the special case of a monomial absorbing potential.
