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.
