Light Induced Negative Differential Conductance in Molecular Junctions: Role of Triplet States and Electron-Phonon Interaction
arXiv:2104.13692 · doi:10.1016/j.physe.2021.114792
Abstract
In this work we theoretically consider the OPE-3 molecule bridging two metallic leads and show that because of the electron-phonon interaction and the transition of cation to triplet states, we can have a light induced negative differential conductance. Furthermore, we investigate the effects of light intensity and temperature on this phenomena.
