A model for dynamical solvent control of molecular junction electronic properties

Experimental measurements of electron transport properties molecular junctions are often performed in solvents. Solvent-molecule coupling and physical the solvent can be used as external stimulus to control electric current through a molecule. In this paper, we propose model, which includes dynamical effects solvent-molecule interaction non-equilibrium Green's function calculations current. The is considered macroscopic dipole moment that reorients stochastically interacts with electrons tunnelling junction.
