Coherent destruction of Coulomb blockade peaks in molecular junctions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Coherent electronic transport in single-molecule junctions is investigated in the Coulomb blockade regime. Both the transmission phase and probability are calculated for junctions with various contact symmetries. A dramatic suppression of the Coulomb blockade peaks is predicted for junctions where multiple atomic orbitals of the molecule couple to a single electrode although the charging steps are unaffected.

Coulomb blockade and coherent single-cooper-pair tunneling in single Josephson junctions.
We have measured the current-voltage characteristics of small-capacitance single Josephson junctions at low temperatures ( T< or =0.04 K), where the strength of the coupling between the single junction and the electromagnetic environment was controlled with one-dimensional arrays of dc SQUIDs. We have clearly observed Coulomb blockade of Cooper-pair tunneling and even a region of negative diffe...
متن کاملThe Analysis of Coulomb Blockade in Fullerene Single Electron Transistor at Room Temperature
The Graphene based single electron transistor (SET) as a coulomb blockade device need to be explored .It is a unique device for high-speed operation in a nano scale regime. A single electron transfers via the coulomb barriers, but its movement may be prevented by coulomb blockade, so its effect is investigated in this research. The conditions of coulomb blockade and its controlling factors such...
متن کاملPrevalence of Coulomb blockade in electro-migrated junctions with conjugated and non- conjugated molecules
Conduction of electro-migration gap junctions coated with various organic molecules is studied to expose the prevalence of different transport processes. The principal comparison made here is between molecules with conjugated versus non-conjugated backbones. Coulomb blockade (CB) is observed in all junctions, including bare junctions and those with non-conjugated molecules, but at significantly...
متن کاملMesoscopic Josephson Effect
In the classical Josephson effect the phase difference across the junction is well defined, and the supercurrent is reduced only weakly by phase diffusion. For mesoscopic junctions with small capacitance the phase undergoes large quantum fluctuations, and the current is also decreased by Coulomb blockade effects. We discuss the behavior of the current-voltage characteristics in a large range of...
متن کاملCoulomb blockade effects in driven electron transport
We study numerically the influence of strong Coulomb repulsion on the current through molecular wires that are driven by external electromagnetic fields. The molecule is described by a tight-binding model whose first and last site is coupled to a respective lead. The leads are eliminated within a perturbation theory yielding a master equation for the wire. The decomposition into a Floquet basis...
