Phonon coupling effect upon transport in nanoscale polymers

In an environmental coupled polymer, a variation of the conductivity is evaluated, which results from the external electron–phonon interaction coupling with the internal one. A quantized current appears under the external phonon coupling. The resonant tunnelling in the nanoscale polymer driven by the internal electron–phonon interaction is enhanced by the external phonon coupling. In addition, the external electron–phonon interaction softens the stiffness of the polymer.
