摘要：

We investigate vibron-assisted electron transport in single-molecule transistors containing an individual Fe-4 Single-Molecule Magnet. We observe a strong suppression of the tunneling current at low bias in combination with vibron-assisted excitations. The observed features are explained by a strong electron-vibron coupling in the framework of the Franck-Condon model supported by density-functional theory.
