; molecular contacts; nonequilibriumdistributions; numerical simulations; rate equations; Introduction
Electrical devices on the nanoscale have received substantial interest in the last decade [1]. Impressive progress has been achieved in contacting single molecules or molecular aggregates with conducting
. Deviations that occur for larger values of m0 can partially be explained by nonequilibriumdistributions in the phonon distribution, where, however, the master equation approach seems to overestimate this effect. In order to obtain some insight into the nature of this deficiency, a minimal approach consists
