We find an analytic formula that gives the behavior of arbitrary irreducible moments of the distribution upon phonon excitation. The underlying competition between quasi-elastic and inelastic processes results in the formation of domains in parameter space characterized by a given sign in the jump of the irreducible moments. In the limit of perfect transmission, the corresponding distribution is distorted from Gaussian statistics for electrons to Poissonian transfer of holes above the inelastic threshold.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2009-07-27T10:10:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.63.Rt", "73.23.-b", "99.10.Cd" ], "keywords": [ "full counting statistics", "electron-phonon interaction", "molecular junctions", "local phonon mode", "inelastic processes results" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2010, "month": "Feb", "volume": 81, "number": 8, "pages": "089901" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010PhRvB..81h9901A" } } }
