Magnetopolaronic effects in electron transport through a single-level vibrating quantum dot

Magnetopolaronic effects are considered in electron transport through a single-level vibrating quantum dot subjected to a transverse (to the current flow) magnetic field. It is shown that the effects are most pronounced in the regime of sequential electron tunneling, where a polaronic blockade of the current at low temperatures and an anomalous temperature dependence of the magnetoconductance are predicted. In contrast, for resonant tunneling of polarons the peak conductance is not affected by the magnetic field. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics. [doi: 10.1063/1.3674185]
