Spontaneous fluorescence rates of single-molecule emitters are typically on the order of
nanoseconds. However, coupling them with plasmonic nanostructures can substantially …

The capability to excite, probe, and manipulate vibrational modes is essential for
understanding and controlling chemical reactions at the molecular level. Recent …

Plasmon photocatalysis reactions are thought to occur through vibrationally activated
reactants, driven by nonthermal energy transfer from plasmon-induced hot carriers …

Optically activated reactions initiate biological processes such as photosynthesis or vision,
but can also control polymerization, catalysis or energy conversion. Methods relying on the …

Control over the electrical contact to an individual molecule is one of the biggest challenges
in molecular optoelectronics. The mounting of individual chromophores on extended tripodal …

Nanostructures of metals 1 and degenerately doped semiconductors 2 host large numbers
of free charge carriers in a nanoscale volume. At such high densities, Coulomb repulsion …

Charge-state transitions of a single Cu-phthalocyanine molecule adsorbed on an insulating
layer of NaCl on Cu (111) are probed by means of alternate charging scanning tunneling …

If human vision extended to the infrared (IR) spectrum, we would witness a world teeming
with vibrant and distinct color combinations, each corresponding to unique molecular …

Monolayers of free base phthalocyanine (H2Pc) are grown on monolayer and few-layer
exfoliated flakes of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) which are subsequently integrated into a …
