Laser controlled molecular switches and transistorsJörg Lehmann, Sébastien Camalet, Sigmund Kohler, and Peter HänggiChem. Phys. Lett. 368, 282 (2003) We investigate the possibility of optical current control through single molecules which are weakly coupled to leads. A master equation approach for the transport through a molecule is combined with a Floquet theory for the time-dependent molecule. This yields an efficient numerical approach to the evaluation of the current through time-dependent nano-structures in the presence of a finite external voltage. We propose tunable optical current switching in two- and three-terminal molecular electronic devices driven by properly adjusted laser fields, i.e. a novel class of molecular transistors. arXiv:physics/0205060 |
