Sorry, I made a mistake in my previous email
I wrote the correction of the previous email below:

Thanks for your prompt reply Mr. Wintal.

I did not calculate the conductance and obtained the G-E diagram using the
transmission method introduced in the Green function class.
Another method introduced in this class is conductance_matrix (),
(
https://kwant-project.org/doc/1/reference/generated/kwant.solvers.common.GreensFunction.html?highlight=green%20function
)
which relates the current vector to the voltage vector.
Can I use this method and get to the I-V diagram?
I also want to check the temperature parameter in this system and see the
device's behavior under different temperatures.

thanks
Leo
