摘要

Scanning tunneling microscope (STM) induced luminescence (STML), a technique combining STM with optical detection, not only possesses the ability of atomic-resolution imaging and single-molecule manipulation, but also provides the access to probe the optical properties of molecules through the electroluminescence under highly localized excitation of tunneling electrons. In this talk, I shall first present the realization of molecule-specific electroluminescence from a well- single molecule by using a combined strategy of fluorescence quenching suppression and plasmonic enhancement. Then, I shall demonstrate the visualization of coherent intermolecular dipole-dipole coupling for constructed molecular dimer in real space through spectrally and spatially resolved photon imaging. With the combination of STML with Hanbury Brown and Twiss interferometry, electrically driven single-photon superradiance from artificially constructed molecular chains is realized. Furthermore, I will also show the capability of STML of revealing the spatially resolved vibronic coupling features within a single molecule. These results will not only deepen our understanding on the optoelectronic behavior of single molecule in a plasmonic field, but also pave the way for the development of quantum light sources and nanoscale optoelectronic integrations.
