76. I/dV and in the derivative of the Hartree potential versus V are obtained for the same bias. Though, these two quantities contain the same spectral information, there is no simple relationship between them. Even in the off-resonant regime, the current Eq. is not only given by the lesser Green's function from which the Hartree potential is derived. However, it has recently been shown that for conserving approximations the change in density on the central region is equal to the current flowing into the leads (Ref.).
