Abstract: | Phonon effects in tunnelling through a double quantum dot molecule
are investigated by use of a recently developed technique, which
is based on an exact mapping of a many-body electron-phonon
interaction problem onto a multichannel one-body problem. The
molecule is sandwiched between two ideal electrodes and the
electron at each dot of the molecule interacts independently with
Einstein phonons. Single-electron transmission rates through the
molecule are computed and the nonlinear spectrum obtained shows a
structure with many more satellite peaks due to the excitations of
phonons. The strength of resonant peaks is found to be strongly
dependent on the number of excited phonons. The effects of
electron-phonon interaction on the current and shot noise,
depending on the voltage bias applied at the two electrodes as
well as the potential energy of the molecule, are discussed. |
