Image interpretation of weak-coupling N-mer adsorbate's STM system

Up to now, there have been many indistinctive points in the image interpretation of scanning tunnelhng microscopy (STM) system, and the problems have attracted almost all STM scientists’ attention. In 1992, Kenkre proposed the new programme which describes the behaviour of the electrons moving in the STM tunnelling by the method of exciton dynamics, and the programme not only breaks through the restrictions of Tersoff-Hamann theory, but also can be applied conveniently to discussing the effects of the tip structure, adsorbate structure, substrate structure, temperature, tunneling voltage, and the degree of coherence of elec-

Ground-state energy of weak-coupling polarons in quantum rods

The Hamiltonian of the quantum rod （QR） with an ellipsoidal boundary is given after a coordinate transformation. Using the linear-combination operator and unitary transformation methods, the vibrational frequency and the ground-state energy of weak-coupling polarons are obtained. Numerical results illustrate that the vibrational frequency increases with the decrease of the effective radius R0 of the ellipsoidal parabolic potential and the aspect ratio e of the ellipsoid, and that the ground-state energy increases with the decrease of the effective radius R0 and the electron-LO-phonon coupling strength α. In addition, the ground-state energy decreases with increasing aspect ratio e within 0 〈 e 〈 1 and reaches a minimum when e = 1, and then increases with increasing e for e 〉 1.

Excellent thermoelectric performance in weak-coupling molecular junctions with electrode doping and electrochemical gating

Excellent thermoelectric performance in molecular junctions requires a high power factor, a low thermal conductance, and a maximum figure of merit(ZT) near the Fermi level. In the present work, we used density functional theory in combination with a nonequilibrium Green’s function to investigate the thermoelectric performance of carbon chain-graphene junctions with both strong-coupling and weak-coupling contact between the electrodes and the molecules. The results revealed that a room temperature ZT of 4 could be obtained for the weak-coupling molecular junction, approximately one order of magnitude higher than that reached by the strong-coupling junction. The reason for this is that strong interfacial scattering suppresses most of the phonon modes in weak-coupling systems, resulting in ultralow phonon thermal conductance. The influence of electrode width,electrode doping, and electrochemical gating on the thermoelectric performance of the weak-coupling system was also investigated, and the results revealed that an excellent thermoelectric performance can be obtained near the Fermi level.
