abstract = {The self-energy term used in transport calculations, which
describes the coupling between electrode and transition
regions, is able to be evaluated only from a limited number
of the propagating and evanescent waves of a bulk electrode.
This obviously contributes toward the reduction of the
computational expenses in transport calculations. In this
paper, we present a mathematical formula for reducing the
computational expenses further without using any
approximation and without losing accuracy. So far, the
self-energy term has been handled as a matrix with the same
dimension as the Hamiltonian submatrix representing the
interaction between an electrode and a transition region. In
this work, through the singular-value decomposition of the
submatrix, the self-energy matrix is handled as a smaller
matrix, whose dimension is the rank number of the
Hamiltonian submatrix. This procedure is practical in the
case of using the pseudopotentials in a separable form, and
the computational expenses for determining the self-energy
matrix are reduced by $90\%$ when employing a code based on
the real-space finite-difference formalism and
projector-augmented wave method. In addition, this technique
is applicable to the transport calculations using atomic or
localized basis sets. Adopting the self-energy matrices
obtained from this procedure, we present the calculation of
the electron transport properties of C20 molecular
junctions. The application demonstrates that the electron
transmissions are sensitive to the orientation of the
molecule with respect to the electrode surface. In addition,
channel decomposition of the scattering wave functions
reveals that some unoccupied C20 molecular orbitals mainly
contribute to the electron conduction through the molecular
junction.},
