Electron and Energy Transfer in Single Molecule Junctions

Alexander White
University of California, San Diego

The single molecule junction has become an important tool for exploring electron transport properties at the molecular scale. Driven by experimental advancements, theorists must move beyond descriptions of elastic electron transport. This requires advanced methods which go beyond standard nonequilibrium Green functions (NEGF) and density matrix techniques. We will discuss the application of a pseudoparticle NEGF approach, which is exact in intrasystem interactions, to inelastic electron transport, energy transport, quantum interference, and optical response in single molecule junctions.

Host: Sergei Tretiak
