Schematic of a junction with semi-infinite linear atomic chains as terminals. The scattering region comprises of two atoms with masses m and 2m, respectively. The chain (a) and chain (b) have two terminals, and the chain (c) has three terminals. There are three kinds of terminals: T₁, T₂, and T₃, denoted by red, blue, and green lines, respectively. The numbers in the terminals denote the respective unit layer indices.
