1 Appendix A Time Evolution of the Wave Packet This appendix presents how to calculate the evolution of the wave packet Û(t) ϕ RP and [ ˆX, Û(t)] ϕ RP which are used in the application of the real space method to calculate the transport properties. In order to do that, we divide the time t into small time steps T = t/n and approximate Û(T ) with the series of orthogonal Chebyshev polynomials Q n (Ĥ) i ĤT Û(T ) = e = c n (T )Q n (Ĥ) (A.) The original Chebyshev polynomials T n which satisfy the recurrent relations T 0 (x) = T (x) = x T 2 (x) = 2x 2. T n+ (x) = 2x T n (x) T n (x) (A.2) (A.3) (A.4) (A.5) and act on the interval [ ; ] are rescaled to the rescaled Chebyshev polynomials Q n which cover the bandwidth of system Hamiltonian E [a : a + ], with the band center and bandwidth are a and 4b, respectively. These rescaled Chebyshev polynomials Q n satisfy Q n (E) = ( ) E a 2T n ( n ) (A.6) Q 0 (E) = (A.7) Q (E) = 2 E a (A.8) Springer International Publishing Switzerland 206 D.V.

( ) E a Q n+ (E) = 2 Q n (E) Q n (E) (A.0) With above definition, we have the orthonormal relations for Q n (E) Q n (E)Q m (E)p Q (E)dE = δ mn (A.) with respect to the weight p Q (E) = 2πb ( ) (A.2) E a 2 Once the Q n polynomials are well defined, one can compute the related c n (T ) coefficients c n (T ) = de p Q (E)Q n (E)e i E T (A.3) ( E a ) 2Tn = de 2πb ( ) e i E T (A.4) E a 2 = 2 dx T n (x) x 2 (x+a) e i T (A.5) π = ( 2i n e i a T J n ) T, n (A.6) and the first coefficients c 0 (T ) = i n e i a T J 0 ( T ) with J n (x) is the Bessel function of the first kind and order n We can now calculate ϕ RP (T ) ϕ RP (T ) =Û(T ) ϕ RP (A.7) N N ϕ RP (T ) c n (T )Q n (Ĥ) ϕ RP = c n (T ) α n (A.8) where α n =Q n (Ĥ) ϕ RP. With the definitions introduced in Eqs. (A.7, A.8 and A.9) and the recurrence relation Eq. (A.0), we obtain

Using the Eqs. (A.0) and (A.9 A.22), we obtain the recurrence relation for β n β 0 =0 (A.25) [ ˆX, Ĥ] β = ϕ RP (A.26) ( ) Ĥ a β n+ = β n β n + b b [ ˆX, Ĥ] α n ( n ) (A.27) which contain α n and the commutator [ ˆX, Ĥ] determined by the hopings and the distances between neighbours 0...

4 Appendix B Lanczos Method In this appendix the Lanczos method is introduced. Instead of diagonalizing the Hamiltonian the Lanczos method is a useful method to transform the Hamiltonian into tridiagonal matrix which is more convenient to compute the density of state or spin polarization. The general idea of this method is building from the initial state ϕ RP a new basis in which the Hamiltonian is tridiagonal. Here are the basic steps: The first step starts with the first vector in the new basis ψ = ϕ RP and builds the second one ψ 2 which is orthonormal to the first one a = ψ Ĥ ψ (B.) ψ 2 =Ĥ ψ a ψ (B.2) b = ψ 2 = ψ 2 ψ 2 (B.3) ψ 2 = b ψ 2 (B.4) All other recursion steps ( n ) are identical, we build the (n + ) th vector which is orthonormal to the previous ones and given by a n = ψ n Ĥ ψ n (B.5) ψ n+ =Ĥ ψ n a n ψ n b n ψ n (B.6) b n = ψ n+ ψ n+ (B.7) ψ n+ = b n ψ n+ (B.8) The coefficients a n and b n are named recursion coefficients which are respectively the diagonal and off-diagonal of the matrix representation of Ĥ in the Lanczos basis (that we write Ĥ).

(B.) G = G n = E + iη a b 2G 2 E + iη a n bn 2G n+ (B.2) (B.3) Since we compute a finite number of recursion coefficients, the subspace of Lanczos if of finite dimension (N), so it is crucial to terminate the continued fraction by an
6 Appendix B: Lanczos Method 49 appropriate choice of the last {a n=n, b n=n } elements. Let us rewrite the continued fraction as G = E + iη a E + iη a 2 b 2 E + iη a 3 b 2 2 b E + iη a N b 2 N G N+ (B.4) where G N+ denotes such termination. The simplest case is when all the spectrum is contained in a finite bandwidth [a ; a + ], a the spectrum center and 4b its bandwidth. Recursion coefficients a n and b n oscillate around their average value a et b, and the damping is usually fast after a few hundreds of recursion steps. The termination then satisfies G N+ = E + iη a b 2 G N+2 = E + iη a b 2 G N+ (B.5) from which a polynomial of second degree is found (b 2 )G 2 N+ + (E + iη a)g N+ = 0 (B.6) and straightforwardly solved = (E + iη a) 2 () 2 G N+ = (E + iη a) i 2 G N+ = (E + iη a) i () 2 (E + iη a) 2 2 (B.7) (B.8) (B.9)
