Non-Equilibrium Dynamics of Correlated Electron Transfer in Molecular Chains
arXiv:cond-mat/0508098 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.95.220404
Abstract
The relaxation dynamics of correlated electron transport (ET) along molecular chains is studied based on a substantially improved numerically exact path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) approach. As archetypical model we consider a Hubbard chain containing two interacting electrons coupled to a bosonic bath. For this generalization of the ubiquitous spin-boson model, the intricate interdependence of correlations and dissipation leads to non-Boltzmann thermal equilibrium distributions for many-body states. By mapping the multi-particle dynamics onto an isomorphic single particle motion this phenomenon is shown to be sensitive to the particle statistics and due to its robustness allows for new control schemes in designed quantum aggregates.
