Inelastic effects in molecular junction transport: scattering and self-consistent calculations for the Seebeck coefficient
The influence of molecular vibration on the Seebeck coefficient is studied within a simple model. Results of a scattering theory approach are compared with those of a full self-consistent non-equilibrium Green's function scheme. We show, for a reasonable choice of parameters, that inelastic effects have a non-negligible influence on the …
