## Keyword descriptions

ELECTRIC_POTENTIAL: real = 0.00000000E+000 [hartree]

  External electrostatic potential applied to the given contact. [Edit on GitHub]

FERMI_LEVEL: real = 0.00000000E+000 [hartree]

  Contact Fermi level at the given temperature. If this keyword is not given explicitly, the Fermi level will be automatically computed prior the actual NEGF calculation. [Edit on GitHub]

FORCE_EVAL_SECTION: integer = 0

  Index of the FORCE_EVAL section which will be used for bulk calculation. [Edit on GitHub]

REFINE_FERMI_LEVEL: logical = F

  Lone keyword: `T`

  Compute the Fermi level using the value from the FERMI_LEVEL keyword as a starting point. By default the Fermi level is computed only when the keyword FERMI_LEVEL is not given explicitly. [Edit on GitHub]

TEMPERATURE: real = 3.00000000E+002 [K]

  Electronic temperature. [Edit on GitHub]
