Understanding the Impact of Immigration in Greater New Haven
"Understanding the Impact of Immigration in Greater New Haven," highlights the rapid demographic transformation of the region driven by immigration in the past two decades and the significant economic contributions, particularly in small business creation, of this diverse population. The report compiles data from federal, state and local government agencies, as well as information generated locally by DataHaven and The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven
Born Oppenheimer Dynamics Near Metal Surfaces
We discuss the usefulness of Born-Oppenheimer potential surfaces for nuclear
dynamics for molecules strongly coupled to metal surfaces. A simple model
demonstrating the construction of such surface for a molecular junction is
discussed.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figure
Reply to Comment by Alexandrov and Bratkovsky [cond-mat/0603467, cond-mat/0606366]
The submitted Comment is based on using an isolated quantum dot approach to
discuss the situation where the coupling to the leads is considerable (not
negligible). This finite lead coupling is the situation in most molecular
transport junctions. In such situations the population on the molecule is not
static and dynamical effects (fluctuations) are crucial. While the discussion
in [Phys. Rev. B 67, 235312 (2003)], and in the Comment may well apply for an
isolated molecule, it is simply irrelevant for the very different transport
situation analyzed in our original contribution.Comment: 3 pages, no figures; Original Comment [cond-mat/0603467] was
submitted to Nano Letters and following our reply the editor has decided
against publication; Later submission [cond-mat/0606366] is essentially a
reproduction (with new title and abstract and equations rearranged) of the
original Comment [cond-mat/0603467
