Phonons in Molecular Quantum Dots: Density Functional Calculation of Franck-Condon Emission Rates in External Fields

Connie Te-ching Chang, James P. Sethna, Abhay N. Pasupathy +3

We report the calculation of various phonon overlaps and their corresponding phonon emission probabilities for the problem of an electron tunneling onto and off of the buckyball-di…
