FBIAS A

FBIAS_A = [real (array)] 

Description: Defines the step height for the bias potential in $eV$.

---

FBIAS_A defines the height of the step ($A_{\mu }$) in the Fermi-like step-shaped bias potential of the following form:

${\tilde {V}}(\xi _{1},\dots ,\xi _{M_{4}})=\sum _{\mu =1}^{M_{4}}{\frac {A_{\mu }}{1+{\text{exp}}\left[-D_{\mu }({\frac {\xi (q)}{\xi _{0\mu }}}-1)\right]}},\;$

where the sum runs over all ($M_{4}$) coordinates the potential acts upon, which are defined in the ICONST file by setting the status to 4. The units of $A_{\mu }$ are $eV$. The number of items defined via FBIAS_A must be equal to $M_{4}$, otherwise the calculation terminates with an error message.
