Towards quantitative accuracy in first-principles transport calculations: The GW method applied to alkane/gold junctions

The calculation of the electronic conductance of nanoscale junctions from first principles is a long-standing problem in the field of charge transport. Here we demonstrate excellent agreement with experiments for the transport properties of the gold/alkanediamine benchmark system when electron–elect...
