The circuit paradigm in modeling coupled nanomechanic-nanoelectronic dynamics

Abstract

In this paper molecular arrays performing fast electronic switching combined with slow mechanical nuclear vibrations and switching are studied. Coherence is restricted to the internal dynamics of the molecules. Equivalent circuits for molecules performing optically induced electron- and proton transfer will be presented. The circuit paradigm is applied to study signal processors composed of arrays of molecules performing coupled nano-mechanic and nano-electronic dynamics.
