Theory for transport through a single magnetic molecule: Endohedral N @ C 60

We consider transport through a single $\mathrm{N}@{\mathrm{C}}_{60}$ molecule, weakly coupled to metallic leads. Employing a density-matrix formalism we derive rate equations for the occupation probabilities of many-particle states of the molecule. We calculate the current-voltage characteristics and the differential conductance for $\mathrm{N}@{\mathrm{C}}_{60}$ in a break junction. Our results reveal Coulomb-blockade behavior as well as a fine structure of the Coulomb-blockade peaks due to the exchange coupling of the ${\mathrm{C}}_{60}$ spin to the spin of the encapsulated nitrogen atom.
