A theoretical description of electron transmission through a molecular wire embedded in between two leads is carried out using the density matrix method. Accounting for the Coulomb repulsion among the transferred electrons nonlinear kinetic equations for the reduced single-electron distributions are derived. The respective transfer rates contain contributions from different transmission channel...

We extend the Landauer-Büttiker probe formalism for conductances to the high bias regime and study the effects of environmentally induced elastic and inelastic scattering on charge current in single molecule junctions, focusing on high-bias effects. The probe technique phenomenologically incorporates incoherent elastic and inelastic effects to the fully coherent case, mimicking a rich physical ...

Recent measurements of the diffractive deep-inelastic cross section are used to extract diffrac-tive parton densities of the proton. These are subsequently applied in models to predict the production of jets and open charm in the final state. A rapidity gap suppression factor for dijet production in diffractive photoproduction relative to diffractive deep-inelastic scattering is obtained using ...
