Franck-Condon blockade

There are several interesting manifestations of the Franck-Condon blockade. 

The other direct manifestation of the Franck-Condon blockade, - suppression of the linear conductance, was considered in Refs. [107,108]. 

The Franck-Condon principle implies locality in phase space x, p. It states that the coordinate and momentum of a massive dot stay unchanged during the electron transitions, i.e. electron tunneling in our case. For detailed balance, the tunnel coupling Ta has to be invoked as the main prerequisite for the Coulomb blockade. The additional relaxation due to molecular collisions and electromagnetic radiation may have to be favored for the steady state. This is similar to the dissipation necessitated in the orthodox theory of the Coulomb blockade [Kulik 1975 Averin 1991],...
