Abstract:
Nonequilibrium charge transport through a trimer molecular transistor (TMT) composed of three quantum dots arranged in a triangular geometry has been studied in the presence of electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions. The system is described by an extended Anderson-Holstein-Caldeira-Leggett Hamiltonian, where phonon damping arises from coupling to a substrate phonon bath. The electron-phonon interaction is treated nonperturbatively using the Lang-Firsov transformation, while the Coulomb interaction is included at the mean-field level. Using the Keldysh nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) formalism, we compute the spectral function, current, and differential conductance. Our results reveal how Coulomb repulsion, polaronic renormalization, and dissipation jointly influence transport through the triangular molecular transistor.

The extent of coupling depends on the C‑C bond length, the two H‑C‑C angles, any electron-withdrawing substituents, and the dihedral angle between the involved orbitals. The...

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
