Anderson-type model for a molecule adsorbed on a metal surface
We investigate a modified Anderson model to study the local density of states
(LDOS) of a molecular wire adsorbed on a metal. Using a self-consistent
mean-field type approach we find an exponential decay of the LDOS along the
molecule. A repulsive on-site interaction on the molecule suppresses the
tunneling and decreases the characteristic decay length.Comment: 7 pages (using europhys.sty), 5 EPS figures, To appear in Europhys.
