Nonequilibrium transport through magnetic vibrating molecules
Abstract
We calculate the nonequilibrium conductance through a molecule or a quantum dot in which the occupation of the relevant electronic level is coupled with intensity to a phonon mode, and also to two conducting leads. The system is described by the Anderson-Holstein Hamiltonian. We solve the problem using the Keldysh formalism and the non-crossing approximation (NCA) for both, the electron-electron and the electron-phonon interactions. We obtain a moderate decrease of the Kondo temperature with for fixed renormalized energy of the localized level . The meaning and value of are discussed. The spectral density of localized electrons shows in addition to the Kondo peak of width , satellites of this peak shifted by multiples of the phonon frequency . The nonequilibrium conductance as a function of bias voltage at small temperatures, also displays peaks at multiples of in addition to the central dominant Kondo peak near .
