通过分子结的电流的相干laser控制

Coherent laser control of the current through molecular junctions

Guangqi Li, Michael Schreiber, Ulrich Kleinekathoefer

摘要:

利用主方程方法研究了在含时外场作用下,电子隧穿通过由两个引线弱耦合的单点模拟的分子结的过程。在外场偏置电压小、载流子频率高的情况下,观察到隧穿相干破坏现象,即对于一定的外场参数,通过分子结的电流完全消失。在以前的研究中,孤立和开放的多站点系统内的隧穿被抑制;这里显示,单个站点和电子库(即引线)之间的隧穿也可以被抑制。对于更大的偏置电压的电流不会消失,因为更多的隧穿通道参与电子传导,我们还观察到光子辅助隧穿,导致步骤的电流-电压特性。所描述的现象不仅表现为单色场,但也为激光脉冲,因此可用于超快光学开关的电流通过分子结。

英文摘要:

The electron tunneling through a molecular junction modeled by a single site weakly coupled to two leads is studied in the presence of a time-dependent external field using a master equation approach. In the case of small bias voltages and high carrier frequencies of the external field, we observe the phenomenon of coherent destruction of tunneling, i.e. the current through the molecular junction vanishes completely for certain parameters of the external field. In previous studies the tunneling within isolated and open multi-site systems was suppressed; it is shown here that the tunneling between a single site and electronic reservoirs, i.e. the leads, can be suppressed as well. For larger bias voltages the current does not vanish any more since further tunneling channels participate in the electron conduction and we also observe photon-assisted tunneling which leads to steps in the current-voltage characteristics. The described phenomena are demonstrated not only for monochromatic fields but also for laser pulses and therefore could be used for ultrafast optical switching of the current through molecular junctions.
