Current Noise in Single-Molecule Junctions Induced by Electronic-Vibrational Coupling
arXiv:1405.1337 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.90.075409
Abstract
The influence of multiple vibrational modes on current fluctuations in electron transport through single-molecule junctions is investigated. Our analysis is based on a generic model of a molecular junction, which comprises a single electronic state on the molecular bridge coupled to multiple vibrational modes and fermionic leads, and employs a master equation approach. The results reveal that in molecular junctions with multiple vibrational modes already weak to moderate electronic-vibrational coupling may result in high noise levels, especially at the onset of resonant transport, in accordance with experimental findings of Secker et al..[1] The underlying mechanisms are analyzed in some detail.
