Current induced light emission and light induced current in molecular tunneling junctions
Michael Galperin, Abraham Nitzan
The interaction of metal-molecule-metal junctions with light is considered within a simple generic model. We show, for the first time, that light induced current in unbiased juncti…
Current-induced nonequilibrium vibrations in single-molecule devices
Jens Koch, Matthias Semmelhack, Felix von Oppen +1
Finite-bias electron transport through single molecules generally induces nonequilibrium molecular vibrations (phonons). By a mapping to a Fokker-Planck equation, we obtain analyti…
Tight binding description of the STM image of molecular chains
Yoel Calev, Hezy Cohen, Gianaurelio Cuniberti +2
A tight binding model for scanning tunneling microscopy images of a molecule adsorbed on a metal surface is described. The model is similar in spirit to that used to analyze conduc…
Asymmetric Electron Transmission across Asymmetric Alkanethiol Bilayer Junctions
Michael Galperin, Abraham Nitzan, Slawomir Sek +1
Asymmetric i/V curves with respect to the polarity of the voltage bias were observed in the Hg-Au junctions containing bilayers of alkanethiols of different chain length. Larger cu…
On the distance dependence of electron transfer through molecular bridges and wires
Spiros Skourtis, Abraham Nitzan
The dependence of electron transfer rates and yields in bridged molecular systems on the bridge length, and the dependence of the zero-bias conduction of molecular wires on wire le…
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…
