Influence of vibrations on electron transport through nanoscale contacts
In this article we present a novel semi-analytical approach to calculate first-order electron-vibration coupling constants within the framework of density functional theory.

FERM3D: A finite element R-matrix electron molecule scattering code [PDF]
FERM3D is a three-dimensional finite element program, for the elastic scattering of a low energy electron from a general polyatomic molecule, which is converted to a potential scattering problem.

Vibrationally Mediated Control of Single Electron Transmission in Weakly Coupled Molecule-Metal Junctions [PDF]
We propose a mechanism which allows one to control the transmission of single electrons through a molecular junction. The principle utilizes the emergence of transmission sidebands when molecular vibrational modes are coupled to the electronic state ...

First-Principles Simulations of Inelastic Electron Tunneling Spectroscopyof Molecular Junctions
A generalized Green's function theory is developed to simulate the inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy (IETS) of molecular junctions. It has been applied to a realistic molecular junction with an octanedithiolate embedded between two gold contacts ...

New determination of structure parameters in strong field tunneling ionization theory of molecules [PDF]
In the strong field molecular tunneling ionization theory of Tong et al. [Phys. Rev. A 66, 033402 (2002)], the ionization rate depends on the asymptotic wavefunction of the molecular orbital from which the electron is removed.

Electron correlation effects in cobalt fluorides CoFn [PDF]
The molecular cobalt fluorides CoF2, CoF3 and CoF4 are studied and compared by employing different basis sets as well as Quantum Information Theory (QIT) to investigate their correlation effects. These prototypical monomers may be systematically extended

Multi-reference perturbation theory with Cholesky decomposition for the density matrix renormalization group [PDF]
We present a second-order N-electron valence state perturbation theory (NEVPT2) based on a density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) reference wave function that exploits a Cholesky decomposition of the two-electron repulsion integrals (CD-DMRG-NEVPT2).
