Understanding the concept of randomness in inelastic electron tunneling excitations
Literature Information
Jinlong Yang, Jianguo Hou
Inelastic electron tunneling excitation has been realized in the last decade as an effective way to probe reliably detailed atomic structures and control precisely behaviors of surface adsorbates at a single molecule level. A good understanding of rich and complex processes on the surface under inelastic electron excitations is of great importance, not only from a fundamental scientific point of view but also for potential practical applications. In this perspective paper, we give an overview of recent developments on excitations and characterizations of inelastic electron tunneling processes in surface adsorbates and molecular junctions. Special attention has been paid to the understanding of the randomness of the processes. A recently proposed general statistical model is introduced which has resolved a long-standing puzzle concerning the experimentally observed non-integer power law relationship between the rate of molecular conformation changes and the tunneling current. The success of the new model is highlighted by its applications for molecular switches.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
