TINIE – a software package for electronic transport through two-dimensional cavities in a magnetic field

In this paper we introduce TINIE: a state-of-the-art quantum transport simulation framework, which can efficiently perform first-principle calculations based on the Landauer-Büttiker formalism. The computational repertoire of TINIE includes calculations of transmission, conductivity, and currents running through arbitrary multi-terminal two-dimensional transport devices, with additional tools that enable the computation of the local density of states.

The generality of TINIE ranges from wide-band approximation calculations to investigating systems subject to an external magnetic field. The future prospects of TINIE include the simulation of, e.g., two-dimensional cavities, quantum dots, or molecular junctions. The package is written in Python 3.6, and its well-documented modular structure is designed with an intent to create a platform suited for continuous expansion and development.
