We present a Green's function based treatment of the effects of electron-phonon coupling on transport through a molecular quantum dot in the quantum limit. Thereby we combine an incomplete variational Lang-Firsov approach with a…
We consider a quantum dot, affected by a local vibrational mode and contacted to macroscopic leads, in the non-equilibrium steady-state regime. We apply a variational Lang-Firsov transformation and solve the equations of motion of the Green…
Quantum transport through single molecules is essentially affected by molecular vibrations. We investigate the behavior of the prototype single-level model with intermediate electron-vibron coupling and arbitrary coupling to the leads. We…

A polaron model proposed as a possible mechanism for nonlinear conductance [Galperin M, Ratner M A, and Nitzan A 2005 Nano Lett. 5 125-30] is revisited with focus on the differences between the weak and strong molecule-lead coupling cases.…
Resonant electron transport through a mesoscopic region (quantum dot or single molecule) with electron-phonon interaction is considered at finite voltage. In this case the standard Landauer-B\"uttiker approach cannot be applied. Using the…
