Original abstract

High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Scanning tunneling microscopy-induced luminescence (STML) provides access to the optical properties of individual molecules through a cascade of relaxation processes between many-body states. Insufficient charge attachment energies prevent relaxation via optically active states, causing even intrinsically bright molecules to remain dark in STML. Here, we utilize substrate work function control and tip-induced gating of the double-barrier tunnel junction to induce an energy shift of the ionic transition state of a single free-base tetrabenzoporphyrin (H 2 TBP) to control access to optically active states and bright exciton emission. The experimental observations are validated by a rate equation and a polaron model considering the relaxation energy of the NaCl decoupling layer upon charging of the molecule.
