Molecular Tuning of Charge-Transfer Resonance in Plasmonic Nanocavities
Hasher Irshada, Francesco Ciccarello, Konstantin Malchow +2
Interfacial charge-transfer processes play a critical role in plasmon-enhanced spectroscopy, yet the energetic conditions governing charge-transfer resonance within molecule-metal…
Seeing inside a Plasmonic Nanogap: Few-molecule Orientation and Preferential Adsorption
Francesco Ciccarello, Nobuaki Oyamada, Thwahira Shirin Alampara +2
Molecule-surface interactions are central to many research and technological areas, spanning from heterogeneous catalysis and polymer science to electrochemistry. Of particular rel…
Photon Antibunching in Single-Molecule Vibrational Sum-Frequency Generation
Fatemeh Moradi Kalarde, Carlos Sanchez Munoz, Johannes Feist +1
Sum-frequency generation (SFG) allows for coherent upconversion of an electromagnetic signal and has applications in mid-infrared vibrational spectroscopy of molecules. Recent expe…
How to use the dispersion in the tensor for broadband generation of polarization-entangled photons
Valeria Vento, Francesco Ciccarello, Sakthi Pryia Amirtharaj +1
Polarization-entangled photon pairs are a widely used resource in quantum optics and technologies, and are often produced using a nonlinear process. Most sources based on spontaneo…
