Nonequilibrium excitations of molecular vibrons — •Dmitry Ryndyk, Michael Hartung, and Gianaurelio Cuniberti — Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of Regensburg, Germany

We consider the nonequilibrium quantum vibrations of a molecule clamped between two macroscopic leads in a current-carrying state at finite voltages. Our approach is based on the nonequilibrium Green function technique and the self-consistent Born approximation. Kinetic equations for the average populations of electrons and vibrons are formulated in the weak electron-vibron coupling case and self-consistent solutions are obtained. The effects of vibron emission and vibronic instability are demonstrated using few-orbital models. The importance of the electron-vibron resonance is shown.
