Journal ArticleDOI
Electron transport in molecular wire junctions.
TL;DR: Molecular conductance junctions are structures in which single molecules or small groups of molecules conduct electrical current between two electrodes and there is still limited correspondence between experimental and theoretical studies of these systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electromagnetic theory of enhanced Raman scattering by molecules adsorbed on rough surfaces
Joel I. Gersten,Abraham Nitzan +1 more
TL;DR: A theory for surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is developed in this paper, where the surface is modeled as a hemispheroid protruding from a conducting plane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electron transmission through molecules and molecular interfaces
TL;DR: A review of the current knowledge and understanding of this field, with particular emphasis on theoretical issues, can be found in this article, where the most important molecular environment for electron transfer and transmission is water, and the current theoretical understanding of electron transmission through water layers is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectroscopic properties of molecules interacting with small dielectric particles
Joel I. Gersten,Abraham Nitzan +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the optical properties of small dielectric spheroids with or without adsorbed molecules are studied theoretically and expressions for the absorption line shapes, the radiative and nonradiative decay rates, and quantum yields are derived.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular transport junctions: vibrational effects
TL;DR: A detailed overview of the theoretical and computational approaches that have been taken to understand transport in molecular junctions when these vibronic interactions are involved can be found in this article, where the authors define a particular microscopic model Hamiltonian.
