Since their recent first realizations, molecular transistors attract more and more interest in nanoelectronics due to their rich transport properties. They consist of a molecule connecting two leads where a gate electrode can be used to tune the charge on the molecule. An important point in describing their transport behaviour is the understanding of electron-phonon interactions. We investigate these interactions using an Anderson Holstein Model [1,2] where a single impurity is linearily coupled to a harmonic osillator describing the vibrational degrees of freedom of the molecule. In our work we use the Numerical Renormalization Group [3] to calculate transport properties of the molecular transistor.
