Angular momentum radiation from current-carrying molecular junctions
arXiv:1911.06503 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.101.161406
Abstract
We consider the radiation of angular momentum (AM) from current-carrying molecular junctions. Using the nonequilibrium Green's function method, we derive a convenient formula for the AM radiation and apply it to a prototypical benzene molecule junction. We discuss the selection rules for inelastic transitions between the molecular angular momentum eigenstates due to a 6-fold rotational symmetry. Our study provides important insights into the generation of light with AM from DC-biased molecular junctions.
