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…
Rectification of laser-induced electronic transport through molecules
Jörg Lehmann, Sigmund Kohler, Peter Hänggi +1
We study the influence of laser radiation on the electron transport through a molecular wire weakly coupled to two leads. In the absence of a generalized parity symmetry, the molec…
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…
Conduction in molecular junctions: Inelastic effects
Dvira Segal, Abraham Nitzan
The effect of a thermal environment on electron (or hole) transfer through molecular bridges and on the electron conduction properties of such bridges is studied. Our steady state…
Traversal times for resonant tunneling
Uri Peskin, Michael Galperin, Abraham Nitzan
The tunneling time of particle through given barrier is commonly defined in terms of "internal clocks" which effectively measure the interaction time with internal degrees of freed…
