This paper is excellent in explaining the details concerning bond-currents: http://dx.doi.org.globalproxy.cvt.dk/10.1088/0953-8984/14/11/314
PS. In the next release of siesta, transiesta/tbtrans also enables the calculation of bond-currents. 2016-08-29 16:11 GMT+02:00 Luk Keh <lukke...@gmail.com>: > Dear users and developers, > > could somebody tell me which unit the 'bond currents' in the .curr files > produced by Inelastica have?
