(Dated: July 17, 2017) We calculate the electric charge current flowing through a vibrating molecular nanojunction, which is driven by an ac voltage, in its regime of nonlinear oscillations. Without loss of generality, we model the junction by a vibrating molecule which is doubly clamped to two metallic leads which are biased by time-periodic ac voltages. Dressed-electron tunneling between the leads and the molecule drives the mechanical degree of freedom out of equilibrium. In the deep quantum regime, where only a few vibrational quanta are excited, the formation of coherent vibrational resonances affects the dressed-electron tunneling. In turn, back action modifies the electronic ac current passing through the junction. The concert of nonlinear vibrations and ac driving induces quantum transport currents which are antiresonant to the applied ac voltage. Quantum back action on the flowing nonequilibriun current allows us to obtain rather sharp spectroscopic information on the population of the mechanical vibrational states.
We investigate bistability and memory effects in a molecular junction weakly coupled to metallic leads with the latter being subject to an adiabatic periodic change of the bias voltage. The system is described by a simple Anderson-Holstein model and
We analyze an AC-driven dimer chain connected to a strongly biased electron source and drain. It turns out that the resulting transport exhibits fingerprints of topology. They are particularly visible in the driving-induced current suppression and th
It is shown that the excitation of charge carriers by ac electric field with zero average driving leads to a direct electric current in quantum well structures. The current emerges for both linear and circular polarization of the ac electric field an
We study the tunneling transport through a nanojunction in the far-from-equilibrium regime at relatively low temperatures. We show that the current-voltage characteristics is significantly modified as compared to the usual quasi-equilibrium result by
We report a theoretical study suggesting a novel type of electronic switching effect, driven by the geometrical reconstruction of nanoscale graphene-based junctions. We considered junction struc- tures which have alternative metastable configurations
