We report the electronic transport properties of a new photo-addressable molecular switch. The switching process relies on a new concept based on linear {\pi}-conjugated dynamic systems, in which the geometry and hence the electronic…
We examine here the anomalous optical response of a nanosphere composed of two conjoined hemispheres of different materials, one of them being plasmonic. At the internal resonance, we show how the light interaction becomes dramatically…
It is predicted that nuclear spin conversion in molecules can be efficiently controlled by strong laser radiation resonant to rovibrational molecular transition. The phenomenon can be used for substantial enrichment of spin isomers, or for…
This letter reports on the observation of optoelectronic switching in addressable molecular crossbar junctions fabricated using polymer stamp-printing method. The active medium in the junction is a molecular self-assembled monolayer softly…
Extremely fast rotating molecules carrying significantly more energy in their rotation than in any other degree of freedom are known as "super rotors". It has been speculated that super rotors may exhibit a number of unique properties.…
We demonstrate two-photon interference using two remote single molecules as bright solid-state sources of indistinguishable photons. By varying the transition frequency and spectral width of one molecule, we tune and explore the effect of…
Magnetization manipulation in the absence of an external magnetic field is a topic of great interest, since many novel physical phenomena need to be understood and promising new applications can be imagined. Cutting-edge experiments have…
A simple double-decker molecule with magnetic anisotropy, nickelocene, is attached to the metallic tip of a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope. In the presence of a Cu(100) surface, the conductance around the Fermi energy is…
Light sources on the scale of single molecules can be addressed and characterized on their proper sub-nanometer scale by scanning tunneling microscopy induced luminescence (STML). Such a source can be driven by defined short charge pulses…
The ability to control the speed and polarisation of light pulses will allow for faster data flow in optical networks of the future. Optical delay and switching have been achieved using slow-light techniques in various media, including…
Incorporating functional molecules into sensor devices is an emerging field in molecular electronics that aims at exploiting the sensitivity of different molecules to their environment and turning it into an electrical signal. Among the…
State-dependent optical tweezers can be used to trap a pair of molecules with a separation much smaller than the wavelength of the trapping light, greatly enhancing the dipole-dipole interaction between them. Here we describe a general…
The energetic positions of molecular electronic states at molecule/electrode interfaces are crucial factors for determining the transport and optoelectronic properties of molecular junctions. Strong light--matter coupling offers a potential…
We explain the probe field transmission spectrum under the influence of a strong pump field in a hybrid optomechanical system, composed of an optical cavity, a mechanical resonator, and a two-level atom. We show fast (superluminal) and slow…
This paper investigates a hybrid radio frequency (RF)/visible light communication (VLC) ultra-small cell network consisting of multiple optical angle-diversity transmitters, one multi-antenna RF access point (AP), and multiple terminal…
We propose a method to exploit high finesse optical resonators for light assisted coherent manipulation of atomic ensembles, overcoming the limit imposed by the finite response time of the cavity. The key element of our scheme is to rapidly…
Single-photon emitters radiate as electric dipoles, which limits light collection efficiency and complicates integration into flat photonic devices. Developing nanophotonic structures capable of directing photon emission with tunable…
Extinction spectroscopy is a powerful tool for demonstrating the coupling of a single quantum emitter to a photonic structure. However, it can be challenging in all but the simplest of geometries to deduce an accurate value of the coupling…
We explore theoretically the electroluminescence of single molecules. We adopt a local-electrode framework that is appropriate for scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experiments where electroluminescence originates from individual…
Features of complex vector light become important in any interference effects, including scattering, diffraction, and non-linear processes. Here we are investigating the role of polarization-structured light in atomic state interferometers.…
