Sharp zero-phonon lines of single organic molecules on a hexagonal boron-nitride surface
Robert Smit, Arash Tebyani, Jil Hameury +2
Single fluorescent molecules embedded in the bulk of host crystals have proven to be excellent probes of the dynamics in their nano environment, thanks to their narrow (about 0.1 μ…
Design and synthesis of aromatic molecules for probing electric-fields at the nanoscale
Sanli Faez, Nico R. Verhart, Marios Markoulides +3
We propose using halogenated organic dyes as nanoprobes for electric field and show their greatly enhanced Stark coefficients using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We…
Optical detection of single non-absorbing molecules using the surface plasmon of a gold nanorod
Peter Zijlstra, Pedro M. R. Paulo, Michel Orrit
Current optical detection schemes for single molecules require light absorption, either to produce fluorescence or direct absorption signals. This severely limits the range of mole…
