分子结中的非弹性电子输运

Inelastic electron transport through molecular junctions

Natalya A. Zimbovskaya

摘要:

目前,分子隧道结被认为是各种纳米器件的重要有源元件。这给研究控制电子输运通过分子的物理机制提供了强烈的动机。电子在分子桥中的运动总是受到环境的影响,与分子桥的相互作用会改变电子的能量,在一定条件下,这些非弹性效应会显著改变电子输运特性。在目前的工作中,我们描述的非弹性和耗散效应的电子输运发生由于分子桥振动和随机热激活离子运动。我们有意使用简单的模型和计算技术,使读者专注于分子隧道结中的非弹性电子输运物理。我们考虑了电子-振子相互作用及其在非弹性隧穿谱、极化效应和耗散电子输运中的表现。此外,我们还简要讨论了大分子中的长程电子转移反应及其与分子结中电子输运的关系。

英文摘要:

Currently, molecular tunnel junctions are recognized as important active elements of various nanodevices. This gives a strong motivation to study physical mechanisms controlling electron transport through molecules. Electron motion through a molecular bridge is always somewhat affected by the environment, and the interactions with the invironment could change the energy of the traveling electron. Under certain conditions these inelastic effects may significantly modify electron transport characteristics. In the present work we describe inelastic and dissipative effects in the electron transport occurring due to the molecular bridge vibrations and stochastic thermally activated ion motions. We intentionally use simple models and computational techniques to keep a reader focused on the physics of inelastic electron transport in molecular tunnel junctions. We consider electron-vibron interactions and their manifestations in the inelastic tunneling spectra, polaronic effects and dissipative electron transport. Also, we briefly discuss long-range electron transfer reactions in macromolecules and their relation to the electron transport through molecular junctions.
