Figure 1

Top row: Fermi surface projections for (a) Ag, (b) Al, and (c) transmission probabilities in the 2D BZ for the (111) orientation. Middle row: Same for the (001) orientation. The color bars on the left indicate the number of scattering states in the leads for a given two-dimensional wave vector ${\mathbf{k}}_{\parallel }$. The transmission probabilities indicated by the color bars on the right can exceed 1 for ${\mathbf{k}}_{\parallel }\mathrm{s}$ for which there is more than one scattering state in both Ag and Al. Bottom row: Fermi surfaces of (g) Ag and (h) Al, (i) the interface-adapted BZ for (001) and (111) orientations. The vertical dashed line in (c) and on the yellow plane in panel (i) indicate the cross section used in the left-hand panel in Fig. 2, while the vertical dotted line in (f) and on the blue plane in panel (i) indicate the cross section used in the right-hand panel.Reuse & Permissions

Figure 2

Intersection of a (110) plane with the Al Fermi surface and with the interface-adapted BZs indicated in Fig. 1i (where the meaning of the dashed and dotted lines is explained). The labeled dots indicate the positions of the RL sites with coordinates given in units of $2\pi /a$. The red (blue) lines indicate regions of high (low) transmission.Reuse & Permissions
