Key concepts in molecular electronics


This morning at MM2009 Abe Nitzan gave a beautiful talk which gave a unified physical picture of many of the important processes (electron transfer, solvation, transition state theory, vibrational relaxation, ....) that are key to understanding molecular conduction.
