Abstract
The charge-memory effect, bistability, and switching between charged and neutral states of a molecular junction, as observed in recent scanning-tunneling microscope (STM) experiments, is considered within a minimal polaron model. We show that in the case of strong electron-vibron interaction, the rate of spontaneous quantum switching between charged and neutral states is exponentially suppressed ...
