摘 要
Room-temperature Coulomb blockade of charge transport through composite nanostructures containing organic interlinks has recently been observed. A pronounced charging effect in combination with the softness of the molecular links implies that charge transfer gives rise to a significant deformation of these structures. For a simple model system, we show that self-excitation of periodic cluster oscillations in conjunction with sequential processes of cluster charging and decharging appears for a sufficiently large bias voltage. This new "electron shuttle" mechanism of discrete charge transfer gives rise to a current through the nanostructure which is proportional to the cluster vibration frequency. -
