abstract = {Generalized Bloch wave functions of bulk structures, which
are composed of not only propagating waves but also decaying
and growing evanescent waves, are known to be essential for
defining the open boundary conditions in the calculations of
the electronic surface states and scattering wave functions
of surface and junction structures. Electronic complex band
structures being derived from the generalized Bloch wave
functions are also essential for studying bound states of
the surface and junction structures, which do not appear in
conventional band structures. We present a novel calculation
method to obtain the generalized Bloch wave functions of
periodic bulk structures by solving a generalized eigenvalue
problem, whose dimension is drastically reduced in
comparison with the conventional generalized eigenvalue
problem derived by Fujimoto and Hirose [Phys. Rev. B 67,
195315 (2003)]. The generalized eigenvalue problem derived
in this work is even mathematically equivalent to the
conventional one, and, thus, we reduce computational cost
for solving the eigenvalue problem considerably without any
approximation and losing the strictness of the formulations.
To exhibit the performance of the present method, we
demonstrate practical calculations of electronic complex
band structures and electron transport properties of Al and
Cu nanoscale systems. Moreover, employing atom-structured
electrodes and jellium-approximated ones for both of the Al
and Si monatomic chains, we investigate how much the
electron transport properties are unphysically affected by
the jellium parts.},
