Nonlinear effects of phonon fluctuations on transport through nanoscale junctions — •Daniel F. Urban1, Remi Avriller2, and Alfredo Levy Yeyati2 — 1Physikalisches Institut, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität, 79104 Freiburg, Germany — 2Departamento de Fisica de la Materia Condensada C-XII, Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, E-28049, Madrid, Spain
We analyze the effect of electron-phonon coupling on the full counting statistics of a molecular junction beyond the lowest order perturbation theory. Our approach allows to take into account analytically the feedback between the non-equilibrium phonon and electronic distributions in the quantum regime. We show that for junctions with high transmission and relatively weak electron-phonon coupling this feedback gives rise to increasingly higher nonlinearities in the voltage dependence of the cumulants of the transmitted charges distribution.
