Landauer Theory, Inelastic Scattering and Electron Transport in Molecular Wires
In this paper we address the topic of inelastic electron scattering in mesoscopic quantum transport. For systems where only elastic scattering is present, Landauer theory provides an adequate description of transport that relates the electronic current to single-particle transmission and reflection probabilities. A formalism proposed recently by Bonc̆a and Trugman facilitates the calculation of ...
متن کاملElectron Transport Through Molecular Structures
Electron transport through molecular structures is investigated with three different concepts. Polythiophenyl substituted benzenes were studied as reducible substructures in molecular architectures. By linking two reducible substructures with different bridging motives the potential of the bridging structure as electronic connector was investigated. Diacetylene turned out to be the most promisi...
متن کاملVibrationally mediated transport in molecular transistors
We investigate the steady-state electronic transport through a suspended dimer molecule coupled to leads. When strongly coupled to a vibrational mode, the electron transport is enhanced at the phonon resonant frequency and higher order resonances. The temperature and bias determine the nature of the phonon-assisted resonances, with clear absorption and emission peaks. The strong coupling also i...
متن کاملElectron transport through molecular bridge systems.
Electron transport characteristics are investigated through some molecular chains attached with two non-superconducting electrodes by the use of Green's function method. Here we do parametric calculations based on the tight-binding formulation to characterize the electron transport through such bridge systems. The transport properties are significantly influenced by (a) the length of the molecu...
متن کاملA quasi-classical mapping approach to vibrationally coupled electron transport in molecular junctions.
We develop a classical mapping approach suitable to describe vibrationally coupled charge transport in molecular junctions based on the Cartesian mapping for many-electron systems [B. Li and W. H. Miller, J. Chem. Phys. 137, 154107 (2012)]. To properly describe vibrational quantum effects in the transport characteristics, we introduce a simple transformation rewriting the Hamiltonian in terms o...
