چکیده
We describe how to treat the interaction of traveling electrons with localized vibrational modes in nanojunctions. We present a multichannel scattering technique, which can be applied to calculate the transport properties for realistic systems, and we show how it is related to other methods that are useful in particular cases. We apply our technique to describe recent experiments on the conductance through molecular junctions.

Spectroscopy, Structural, and Optical Investigations of NiFe2O4 Ferrite
Ni ferrite crystalline material is synthesized using a sol-gel method at two different temperatures. The vibrational and stretching modes, crystalline phase, size distribution and morphology of the products are investigated via Raman back-scattering and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, XRD and FESEM, respectively. Vibrational modes of spinel ferrite are observed at Raman and FTIR...
متن کاملElectron–phonon scattering in molecular electronics: from inelastic electron tunnelling spectroscopy to heating effects
In this paper, we investigate dissipation in molecular electronic devices. Dissipation is a crucial quantity which determines the stability and heating of the junction. Moreover, several experimental techniques which use inelastically scattered electrons as probes to investigate the geometry in the junction are becoming fundamental in the field. In order to describe such physical effects, a non...
متن کاملStructural and vibrational characterization of the organic semiconductor tetracene as a function of pressure and temperature
Neutron powder diffraction and inelastic neutron scattering measurements were performed on crystalline tetracene, a molecular semiconductor of triclinic crystal structure that adopts a herringbone layered motif, as a function of pressure up to 358 MPa. In combination with theoretical and simulated computations, these measurements permit detailed characterization of the structural and vibrationa...

We present a full set of procedures to evaluate the experimental corrections needed to derive physically meaningful quantities from the measured neutron intensities in inelastic neutron-scattering experiments. Multiple-scattering corrections are evaluated by means of a Monte Carlo code, in which a combination of experimental data and the Synthetic Model is used to account for neutron-molecule i...
متن کاملInelastic X-ray scattering and high-frequency dynamics of molecular liquids*
The recently developed inelastic X-ray scattering technique opens a new kinematic region at the observation of molecular liquids vibrational dynamics over the length scales of the interparticle separation. We illustrate the capabilities of this powerful technique through the results obtained from liquid glycerol. A detailed analysis of the high-frequency vibrational dynamics of this system at a...
