Mechanisms of molecular electronic rectification through electronic levels with strong vibrational coupling

Intrinsic instability of electronic interfaces with strong Rashba coupling.

We consider a model for the two-dimensional electron gas formed at the interface of oxide heterostructures, which includes a Rashba spin-orbit coupling proportional to the electric field perpendicular to the interface. Based on the standard mechanism of polarity catastrophe, we assume that the electric field has a contribution proportional to the electron density. Under these simple and general...

Rectification of laser-induced electronic transport through molecules

We study the influence of laser radiation on the electron transport through a molecular wire weakly coupled to two leads. In the absence of a generalized parity symmetry, the molecule rectifies the laser-induced current, resulting in directed electron transport without any applied voltage. We consider two generic ways of dynamical symmetry breaking: mixing of different harmonics of the laser fi...
