Transport through the single-molecular dots in an external irradiation

Original · EN

We present a fully nonequilibrium calculation of the low-temperature transport properties of a single molecular quantum dot coupled to local phonon mode when an ac field is applied to the gate. The resonant behavior is shown in the time-averaged differential conductance as the ac frequency matches the frequency of the local phonon mode, which is a direct consequence of the satellite-phonon-peak structure in the dot electron spectral function. The different step structure with and without the external irradiation is found in the I-V curves, and the oscillation behavior is found in the step height as a function of the irradiation intensity.
