Abstract
Correct expressions are obtained for calculating a tunnel-resonance current through molecules. The participation of molecular vibrations in the resonance charge transfer through a molecule and vibrational excitation of the molecule are determined by the reorganization energy Er of the vibrational system depending on the displacement of the equilibrium position of vibrational modes in passing from the neutral molecule to the resonance state of a molecular ion. The mean excitation energy of the molecule during the propagation of an elementary charge changes from Er at the voltage across electrodes close to the threshold up to 2Er at voltages considerably exceeding the threshold voltage. An expression is obtained for the stationary vibrational temperature of the molecule, which is proportional to the resonance current.
