Our approach allows to take into account analytically the feedback between the non-equilibrium phonon and electronic distributions in the quantum regime. We show that even for junctions with high transmission and relatively weak electron-phonon coupling this feedback gives rise to increasingly higher nonlinearities in the voltage dependence of the cumulants of the transmitted charges distribution.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2010-10-13T15:38:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.63.Rt", "73.23.-b", "72.70.+m" ], "keywords": [ "nanoscale junctions", "phonon fluctuations", "nonlinear effects", "lowest order perturbation theory", "full counting statistics" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2010, "month": "Sep", "volume": 82, "number": 12, "pages": 121414 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010PhRvB..82l1414U" } } }
