Temperature effect in the conductance of hydrogen molecule
Abstract
We present a many-body calculation for the conductance of a conducting bridge of a simple hydrogen molecule between $Pt$ electrodes.The experimental results showed that the conductance $G=dI/dV$ has the maximum value near the quantum unit $G_{0}=2e^{2}/h$. The $I-V$ dependence presents peak and dip and we consider that the electron-phonon interaction is responsible for this behavior. At T=0 there is a step in this dependence for the energy of phonons $ω_{0}$ which satisfies $eV=ω_{0}$. We calculated the conductance at finite temperature and showed that $dG(T)/dV\propto 1/4T\cosh^{2}\frac{eV-ω_{0}}{2T}$.
