Theoretical Study on Effect of Defective Connection to Reservoirs in an Atomic-Scale Conductor

We theoretically investigate the effect of a defect at the interface between a conductor and reservoirs in an atomic-scale device. Since fabrication of atomic-scale contacts is a complex task, there could be defects at the interface between the conductor and reservoirs. Such defective contacts will...
