Using the Lang-Firsov (polaron) transformation, we construct a diagrammatic scheme to calculate the cumulant generating function. The electron-phonon interaction is taken into account exactly, and the employed approximation represents a summation of a diagram subset with respect to the tunneling amplitude. By comparison to Monte Carlo data the formalism is shown to capture the basic properties of the strong coupling regime.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-10-14T13:45:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.63.Kv", "72.10.Di", "73.23.-b" ], "keywords": [ "charge transfer statistics", "molecular quantum dot", "strong electron-phonon interaction", "nonequilibrium transport properties", "monte carlo data" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2011, "month": "Feb", "volume": 83, "number": 8, "pages": "085401" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011PhRvB..83h5401M" } } }
