29. Quantum transport effects in nanosized graphite sheets are significantly enhanced when the following two conditions are satisfied: (I) The MO coefficients of two atoms connected with metallic leads are large in the highest occupied MO (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied MO (LUMO), and (II) the product of MO coefficients on the two atoms in the HOMO is different in sign from that in the LUMO.
