Zero-bias molecular electronics: Exchange-correlation corrections to Landauer's formula [PDF]
Standard first principles calculations of transport through single molecules miss exchange-correlation corrections to the Landauer formula. From Kubo response theory, both the Landauer formula and these corrections in the limit of zero bias are derived ...
