Abstract:
Deep electronic tunneling through molecular barriers in donor-bridge-acceptor complexes is studied using an analytically solvable model. The effective tunneling matrix element is formulated as a sum over vibronic tunneling pathways. For a symmetric system the frequency of tunneling oscillations is shown to increase with the strength of electronic-nuclear coupling at the bridge, the number of electronic-nuclear coupling sites, or the frequency of a bridge vibration. Acceleration by several orders of magnitude is demonstrated within the range of realistic molecular parameters.
