| dc.description | It is well known that the electron transfer (ET) reaction in donor-bridge-acceptor systems is much influenced by the bridge conformational changes. However, the importance of the dynamical contribution to the ET rate is still under debate. In this study, we investigate the significance of the dynamical non-Condon effect on the ET rate in the coherent resonant tunneling regime. To deal with the resonance, we generalize the time-dependent Fermi's golden rule expression for the ET rate in the $T$-matrix framework. The dynamical effect is thereby expressed in terms of the time correlation function of the non-Hermitian $T$-matrix. We discuss the property of the quantum time correlation function of the non-Hermitian $T$-matrix and construct the semiclassical approximation. Then we perform a computational study using classical equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations and quantum chemical calculations. It is shown that the ET rate can be significantly enhanced by the dynamical non-Condon effects. | |
