Quantum transport in a single molecular transistor at finite temperature

Abstract We study quantum transport in a single molecular transistor in which the central region consists of a single-level quantum dot and is connected to two metallic leads that act as a source and a drain respectively. The quantum dot is considered to be under the influence of electron–electron a...
