Born Oppenheimer Dynamics Near Metal Surfaces
Michael Galperin, Abraham Nitzan, Mark A. Ratner
We discuss the usefulness of Born-Oppenheimer potential surfaces for nuclear dynamics for molecules strongly coupled to metal surfaces. A simple model demonstrating the constructio…
Cooling mechanisms in molecular conduction junctions
Michael Galperin, Keiji Saito, Alexander V. Balatsky +1
While heating of a current carrying Ohmic conductors is an obvious consequence of the diffusive nature of the conduction in such systems, current induced cooling has been recently…
Transport in molecular states language: Generalized quantum master equation approach
Massimiliano Esposito, Michael Galperin
A simple scheme capable of treating transport in molecular junctions in the language of many-body states is presented. An ansatz in Liouville space similar to generalized Kadanoff-…
Nonequilibrium isolated molecule limit
Michael Galperin, Abraham Nitzan, Mark A. Ratner
Method developed by Sandalov and coworkers [Int. J. Quant. Chem. 94, 113 (2003)] is applied to inelastic transport in the case of strong correlations on the molecule, which is rela…
Raman scattering in current carrying molecular junctions. A preliminary account
Michael Galperin, Mark A. Ratner, Abraham Nitzan
This is a preliminary acount of a theory for Raman scattering by current-carrying molecular junctions. The approach combines a non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) description o…
Non-linear response of molecular junctions: The polaron model revisited
Michael Galperin, Abraham Nitzan, Mark A. Ratner
A polaron model proposed as a possible mechanism for nonlinear conductance [Galperin M, Ratner M A, and Nitzan A 2005 Nano Lett. 5 125-30] is revisited with focus on the difference…
