Charge Transport in Polymer Ion Conductors: a Monte Carlo Study

Diffusion of ions through a fluctuating polymeric host is studied both by Monte Carlo simulation of the complete system dynamics and by dynamic bond percolation (DBP) theory. Comparison of both methods suggests a multiscale-like approach for calculating the diffusion coefficients of the ion

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

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
