Characterizing the dark state in thymine and uracil by double resonant spectroscopy and quantum computation.
We report on gas phase double resonant spectroscopy of both the ground state and the dark excited state in isolated uracil and thymine. We also report lifetimes of the dark state for different excitation wavelengths. In combination with ab initio calculations the results suggest that the dark state is of triplet ((3)ππ*) character
Mechano-Optical Switching of a Single Molecule with Doublet Emission
8 pags., 4 figs.The ability to control the emission from single-molecule quantum emitters is an important step toward their implementation in optoelectronic technology. Phthalocyanine and derived metal complexes on thin insulating layers studied by scanning tunneling microscope-induced luminescence (STML) offer an excellent playground for tuning their excitonic and electronic states by Coulomb interaction and to showcase their high environmental sensitivity. Copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) has an open-shell electronic structure, and its lowest-energy exciton is a doublet, which brings interesting prospects in its application for optospintronic devices. Here, we demonstrate that the excitonic state of a single CuPc molecule can be reproducibly switched by atomic-scale manipulations permitting precise positioning of the molecule on the NaCl ionic crystal lattice. Using a combination of STML, AFM, and ab initio calculations, we show the modulation of electronic and optical bandgaps and the exciton binding energy in CuPc by tens of meV. We explain this effect by spatially dependent Coulomb interaction occurring at the molecule-insulator interface, which tunes the local dielectric environment of the emitter.M.SĚŚ. and J.D. acknowledge the Czech Science Foundation no.
