Molecular transport junctions: Current from electronic excitations in the leads
Michael Galperin, Abraham Nitzan, Mark A. Ratner
Using a model comprising a 2-level bridge connecting free electron reservoirs we show that coupling of a molecular bridge to electron-hole excitations in the leads can markedly eff…
Resonant inelastic tunneling in molecular junctions
Michael Galperin, Abraham Nitzan, Mark A. Ratner
Within a phonon-assisted resonance level model we develop a self-consistent procedure for calculating electron transport currents in molecular junctions with intermediate to strong…
Molecular heat pump
Dvira Segal, Abraham Nitzan
We propose a novel molecular device that pumps heat against a thermal gradient. The system consists of a molecular element connecting two thermal reservoirs that are characterized…
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…
