Surface Plasmon Enhanced Electroluminescence of a Molecular Junction — •Yuan Zhang1,2, Yaroslav Zhelinskyy1, and Volkhard May1 — 1Institut für Physik, Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, Newtonstraße 15, D-12489 Berlin, Germany — 2University of Science and Technology Beijing, XueYuan Road 30, 100083 Beijing, P. R. China
There are some first experiments indicating surface plasmon enhanced emission of a molecular junction.
We present a coherent theory for this phenomenon, which is based on our previous work on molecule
metal nanoparticle complexes [1,2,3,4].
Ultilizing a density matrix description our theory accounts for electron transfer in junction, photon emission and
energy exchange coupling between the molecule and spherical leads.
As a central result, we report on a three order of magnitude enhanced molecular photon emission,
which dependence on molecular and junction parameters are also discussed.
