摘要
We study the effect of electron-phonon （e-ph） interaction on the elastic and inelastic electronic transport of a nanowire connected to two simple rigid leads within the tight-binding and harmonic approximations. The model is constructed using Green＇s function and multi-channel techniques, taking into account the local and nonlocal e-ph interactions. Then, we examine the model for the gapless （simple chain） and gapped （PA-like nanowire） systems. The results show that the tunneling conductance is improved by the e-ph interaction in both local and nonlocal regimes, while for the resonance conductance, the coherent part mainly decreases and the incoherent part increases. At the corresponding energies which depend on the phonon frequency, two dips in the elastic and two peaks in the inelastic conductance spectra appear. The reason is the absorption of the phonon by the electron in transition into inelastic channels.
