Oct. 28, 2004, 3:15 p.m.


This talk will give an overview of our work on effects of electron-phonon coupling on molecular conduction, including dephasing, dissipation and heating, then describe some recent observations, interpretations and predictions on two phenomena involving phonons in molecular junctions: (a) heat conduction by molecular wires and (b) inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy.
