Slow vibrations in transport through molecules.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show how one can measure the signal from slow jumps of a single molecule between metastable positions using a setup where the molecule is fixed to one lead and one of the coupling strengths is controlled externally. Such a measurement yields information about slow processes deforming the molecule in times much longer than the characteristic time scales for the electron transport process.

Novel quantum transport effects in single-molecule transistors
Transport through single molecules differs from transport through more conventional nanostructures such as quantum dots by the coupling to few welldefined vibrational modes. A well-known consequence of this coupling is the appearance of vibrational side bands in the current-voltage characteristics. We have recently shown that the coupling to vibrational modes can lead to new quantum transport e...
متن کاملTransport of a Liquid Water-Methanol Mixture in a Single Wall Carbon Nanotube
In this work, a molecular dynamics simulation of the transport of water - methanol mixture through the single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) is reported. Methanol and water are selected as fluid molecules since water represents a strongly polar molecule while methanol is as an intermediate between polar and strongly polar molecules. Some physical properties of the methanol-water mixture such as r...
متن کاملEffects of charge-dependent vibrational frequencies and anharmonicities in transport through molecules
As a step towards a more realistic modeling of vibrations in single-molecule devices, we investigate the effects of charge-dependent vibrational frequencies and anharmonic potentials on electronic transport. For weak phonon relaxation, we find that in both cases vibrational steps split into a multitude of substeps. This effectively leads to a bias-dependent broadening of vibrational features in...

Stretching and bending normal vibrations of AB2(C2v), AB3(D3h), AB4(D4h), and AB5(D3h) molecules are described by correlating the vibrational displacement vectors of the attached atoms with the standard representations of s, p and d atomic orbitals of the central atom in ABn(n=2-5) molecules. It is found that stretching and bending normal vibrations of simple molecules accord with probability...
متن کاملA Digital Audio Primer
Sound is created by vibrations, such as those produced by a guitar string, vocal cords, or a speaker cone. These vibrations move the air molecules near them, forcing molecules together, and as a result raising the air pressure slightly. The air molecules that are under pressure then push on the air molecules surrounding them, which push on the next set of air molecules, and so forth, causing a ...
