“…This approximation, which is widely used in literature [49,58,59,[70][71][72], predicts the exponential suppression of the tunneling amplitudes (Franck-Condon (F-C)-type suppression). Using the form of new fermion operators obtained in Lang-Firsov transformation it is easy to show that the electron Green's function of the dot can be decoupled as [73,74]: (8) where , , and or . The renormalization factor due to e-ph interaction is evaluated as [67]: where (9) For the zero-temperature case we are discussing a situation where ⟨X(t)X † (0)⟩ is reduced to (10) where (11) This approximate formula will be used by us in the following, because we are interested only in the low-temperature transport.…”
