Abstract:
Molecular spintronics, a promising new approach to device design,
requires a better understanding of electronic tunneling through magnetic
molecular systems. Compared to tunneling through semiconductor quantum
dots, inelastic processes are much more important. This talk will
discuss both conceptual points concerning the transport theory based on
the master equation and its application to specific systems. The main
focus will be on the interplay of transport and magnetic excitations of
the molecule.
