30. A similar Hamiltonian has been studied in F. Pistolesi, Ya. M. Blanter, and Ivar Martin, Phys. Rev. B 78, 085127 (2008) to describe the dynamics of a molecular object coupled to a soft vibrational degree of freedom. 10.1103/PhysRevB.78.085127

33. The semiclassical treatment of the dynamics of the x -variable is essentially the same as the one considered for a shuttle devices by A. Donarini and A.-P. Jauho, Physica E (Amsterdam) 22, 721 (2004). The difference in the dynamics described by Eq. of that work and our Eq. is the presence of the vertical displacement of the middle region cosidered in this work.
