I.V.Krive, S.I.Kulinich, G.A.Skorobagatko M.Jonson and R.I.Shekhter - B.Verkin ILTPE of NAS of Ukraine, 47 Lenin Ave., Kharkov 61103, Ukraine -University of Gothenburg, SE-412 96 Gothenburg, Sweden “Magnetopolaronic Effects in Electron Transport through a Single-Level Vibrating Quantum Dot” , FizikaNizkikh Temperatur, Vol.37, 12, (December 2011), pp. 1295-1301.

  3. Plan. • Single-molecule transistors (experiment). • Vibrational effects: vibron-assisted tunneling, electron shuttling, polaronic blockade. • Magnetic field-induced electromechanical coupling. • Magnetopolaronic effects in sequential and resonant electron transport.

  4. Single Molecule Transistor C60 in vacuum • Low-T characteristics of SMT • Coulomb blockade • Conductance oscillations on VG (CBO)

  5. Nature, 407, 57, (2000) Quantized nano-mechanical oscillations of the C60 against the gold electrode (ω~1.2 THz) result in additional steps (hω~5 μeV) in I-V curves.

  20. Polaronic Effects in Resonant Electron Tunneling Polaron tunneling approximation (PTA) electron dwell time characteristic time of polaron formation In this approximation polaron Green function By making use of the Meir-Wingreen formula for the average current through interaction QD we get In particular at low temperatures resonant conductance No polaronic effects at resonance condition

  21. In electron transport through a vibrating QD polaronic effects are the same for electric field or magnetic field-induced electromechanical coupling. The manifestations of polaronic (Franck-Condon) blockade are: (i) anomalous temperature dependence of conductance at , and (ii) the excess current in J-V curves at low temperatures. Magnetopolaronic effects are most pronounced in the regime of sequential electron tunneling. Resonant conductance is not renormalized by magnetic field in polaron tunneling approximation. Conclusion
