The electrostatic potential profile along a biased molecular wire: A model quantum mechanical calculation
Stéphane Pleutin, Hermann Grabert, Gert-Ludwig Ingold +1
We study the electrostatic potential of a molecular wire bridging two metallic electrodes in the limit of weak contacts. With the use of a tight-binding model including a fully thr…
On the electrostatic potential profile in biased molecular wires
Abraham Nitzan, Michael Galperin, Gert-Ludwig Ingold +1
The potential profile across a biased molecular junction is calculated within the framework of a simple Thomas-Fermi type screening model. In particular, the relationship between t…
Semiclassical theory of vibrational energy relaxation
Robert Karrlein, Hermann Grabert
A theory of vibrational energy relaxation based on a semiclassical treatment of the quantum master equation is presented. Using new results on the semiclassical expansion of dipole…
