I think that the energy band in lead should be the semimetallic band of zigzag-edge graphene nanoribbon regardless of the parameter r.

Did you plot the system and the dispersion of the lead? I suspect one of the edges has dangling bonds (corresponding to the "bearded" boundary condition). This would open a gap in the lead band structure. Anton

If the band in lead is incorrect and changes from metall to insulator depending on the parameter r, how can i trust the resulting conductance of scattering region ? So, I thought someting is wrong.

Thanks, again

Lee

Hi Lee,

What exactly do you want to fix? From your description I didn't notice anything going wrong.

Cheers, Anton

Hello, I am just starting with KWANT. I have a question about the energy band in lead. In the tutorial "2.5 Beyond square lattices: graphene", the energy band in lead is semimetallic and is consistent with that of zigzag-edge graphene nanoribbon when "r=10" ( default value given in the tutorial). However, when I set r=9 (or a value larger than 10), the energy band in lead becomes insulating and the conductance of scattering region also changes greatly. How can I fix it?

thanks,

Lee
