A Single Hydrogen Molecule as an Intensity Chopper in an Electrically Driven Plasmonic Nanocavity

Klaus Kern, Anna Maria Roslawska, Abhishek Grewal, Christoph Grosse

Photon statistics is a powerful tool for characterizing the emission dynamics of nanoscopic systems and their photophysics. Recent advances that combine correlation spectroscopy with scanning tunneling microscopy induced luminescence (STML) have allowed th ...

Bimodal exciton-plasmon light sources controlled by local charge carrier injection

Klaus Kern, Anna Maria Roslawska, Christoph Grosse

Electrical charges can generate photon emission in nanoscale quantum systems by two independent mechanisms. First, radiative recombination of pairs of oppositely charged carriers generates sharp excitonic lines. Second, coupling between currents and collec ...

Exciton dynamics of C-60-based single-photon emitters explored by Hanbury Brown-Twiss scanning tunnelling microscopy

Klaus Kern, Anna Maria Roslawska, Christoph Grosse

Exciton creation and annihilation by charges are crucial processes for technologies relying on charge-exciton-photon conversion. Improvement of organic light sources or dye-sensitized solar cells requires methods to address exciton dynamics at the molecula ...

Monitoring Charge Carrier Dynamics at Atomic Length Scales by STM-induced Luminescence

Christoph Grosse

The goal of this thesis is the combination of the high spatial resolution of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) with the high temporal resolution of optical spectroscopy, by monitoring the light emitted from the tunnel junction. Two complementary techniqu ...

Dynamic Control of Plasmon Generation by an Individual Quantum System

Klaus Kern, Markus Etzkorn, Uta Schlickum, Romain Froidevaux, Theresa Lutz, Christoph Grosse, Alexander Kabakchiev

Controlling light on the nanoscale in a similar way as electric currents has the potential to revolutionize the exchange and processing of information. Although light can be guided on this scale by coupling it to plasmons, that is, collective electron osci ...

Quantitative mapping of fast voltage pulses in tunnel junctions by plasmonic luminescence

Klaus Kern, Markus Etzkorn, Christoph Grosse

An optical read-out technique is demonstrated that enables mapping the time-dependent electrostatic potential in the tunnel junction of a scanning tunneling microscope with millivolt and nanosecond accuracy. We measure the time-dependent intensity of plasm ...

Molecular Orbital Gates for Plasmon Excitation

Klaus Kern, Uta Schlickum, Christian Alexander Stephan Dette, Theresa Lutz, Christoph Grosse, Alexander Kabakchiev

Future combinations of plasmonics with nanometer-size electronic circuits require strategies to control the electrical excitation of plasmons at the length scale of individual molecules. A unique tool to study the electrical plasmon excitation with ultimat ...
