30. Different number of layers is used in the scattering region on each side (left lead: ABA, right lead: AB) in order to obtain periodicity in the transport direction when the junction geometry is optimized using SIESTA. We obtained almost identical transmission coefficients when using the same number (three) of layers on both sides for the transport calculation.
