摘要

When a molecule adsorbs to the surface of a carbon-based nanostructure the local binding potential and the molecule mass determine the natural characteristic frequency with which it vibrates after being slightly perturbed from its equilibrium position. We perform phonon-assisted inelastic quantum transport calculations for carbon nanotubes with a single molecule attached to its surface and show that the differential conductance spectra may be used to identify the presence of the adsorbed molecule.
