Single-electron counting spectroscopy: simulation study of porphyrin in a molecular junction

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2015-05-13 v1

Abstract

Electron counting of a single porphyrin molecule between two electrodes shows a crossover from sub- to super-Poissonian statistics as the bias voltage is scanned. This is attributed to the simultaneous activation of states with electron transfer rates spanning several orders of magnitude. Time-series analysis of consecutive single electron transfer events reveals fast and slow transport channels, which are not resolved by the average current alone.
