摘要: We develop a theoretical framework for the study of inelastic resonant transport and current-driven dynamics in molecular nanodevices. Our approach combines Born-Oppenheimer solution coordinate-, energy-, voltage-dependent self-energy with time-dependent scattering vibrational dynamics. The formalism is applied to two classic problems current-triggered As simple example bound-bound events nuclear subspace we problem current-induced oscillations Au–C60–Au heterojunctions. well-studied bound-free revisit scanning-tunneling-microscopy-triggered H-atom desorption from Si(100) surface. numerical results are supported by analytically soluble model.
