Franck-Condon Blockade and Giant Fano Factors in Transport Through Single Molecules
Felix von Oppen,Jens Koch +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that Franck-Condon physics leads to a significant current suppression at low bias voltages in transport through single molecules with strong coupling between electronic and vibrational degrees of freedom.

Nuclear Coupling and Polarization in Molecular Transport Junctions: Beyond Tunneling to Function
TL;DR: A general picture is discussed for phenomena that arise from charging, strong correlation, and polarization (electronic and vibrational) effects in the molecule and at the interface that result in technologically relevant device-type responses.

Transition from metallic to tunneling regimes in superconducting microconstrictions: Excess current, charge imbalance, and supercurrent conversion
TL;DR: In this paper, the Bogoliubov equations were used to model the transmission and reflection of particles at the tunnel junction of normal-superconducting micro-constriction contacts, and a simple theory for the $I\ensuremath{-}V$ curves of normal superconducting contacts was proposed to describe the crossover from metallic to tunnel junction behavior.
