The vivid optical properties of noble metal nanoparticles have been an object of fascination
since ancient times. The ruby red of stained glass windows arises from gold nanoparticles …

Transport of electrons in a single molecule junction is the simplest problem in the general
subject area of molecular electronics. In the past few years, this area has been extended to …

At present, metal–molecular tunnel junctions are recognized as important active elements in
molecular electronics. This gives a strong motivation to explore physical mechanisms …

Vibronic effects in resonant electron transport through single-molecule junctions are
analyzed. The study is based on generic models for molecular junctions, which include …

We study the nonequilibrium dynamics of small, strongly correlated clusters, described by a
Hubbard Hamiltonian, by propagating in time the Kadanoff-Baym equations within the …

We present in detail a method we recently introduced [Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 176404 (2009)
10.1103/PhysRevLett. 103.176404] to describe finite systems in and out of equilibrium …

We introduce a method based on the auxiliary master equation for solving the problem of an
impurity with local electron-electron and electron-phonon interaction embedded between …

Using scanning tunneling spectroscopy, we study the transport of electrons through C 60
molecules on different metal surfaces. When electrons tunnel through a molecule, they may …

The control of light-matter interaction at the most elementary level has become an important
resource for quantum technologies. Implementing such interfaces in the THz range remains …

A simple scheme, capable of treating transport in molecular junctions in the language of
many-body states, is presented. By introducing an ansatz in Liouville space, similar to the …
