35. First-principles DFT calculations are done with the commercial software package ATOMISTIX TOOLKIT 2.0. We use norm-conserved pseudopotentials for the core electrons and the local density approximation for the exchange-correlation potential (Ref.). More details about the software can be found on the company website (www.atomistix.com).

38. A brief explanation for this is that, since the boundary layers of the C region in our setup are given by principal electrode layers, the evanescent modes that decay very fast do not "survive" the propagation through these layers and therefore do not give any components outside the sets { k+ } and { k- } at the boundaries of C.

47. All computations in this work were done on a Sun ULTRASPARC IV dual-core CPUs (1350 MHz/8 MB L2-cache). We use the vendor-supplied Sun Performance Library that includes platform-optimized versions of LAPACK routines.
48. For the armchair (16,16) CNT electrode (N=512) the call to DGEEV produces an extremely high number of L2 cache misses, many more than for the larger (18,18) CNT electrode (N=576). This causes the very poor run times of the DGEEVmethod for this particular electrode.
