  • 扫描隧道显微镜(scanning tunneling microscope, STM)针尖与衬底形成的等离激元腔系统因其可以突破衍射极限将电磁场增强上百倍并局域在纳米甚至亚纳米尺度而备受关注. 扫描隧道显微镜针尖与衬底形成的等离激元腔系统可以作为研究超快尺度下超辐射现象的先进平台. 本文应用宏观量子电动力学与开放量子系统理论, 探讨了不同几何构形的亚甲基蓝分子团簇在特定扫描隧道显微镜纳米腔和皮米腔下的辐射动力学. 在扫描隧道显微镜纳米腔中, 允许在多种分子团簇构形和激发波长下实现超辐射. 而扫描隧道显微镜皮米腔对产生超辐射的分子团簇构形较为严格, 具有较高排列对称性的分子团簇更容易产生超辐射现象, 且对激发波长的变化更加敏感. 此外, 相对于扫描隧道显微镜皮米腔, 在扫描隧道显微镜纳米腔中观察到的超辐射强度较低, 持续时间较长. 这些结果表明, 合理设计腔结构及分子团簇的几何构形可以有效调控超辐射现象的发生和增强, 为未来在光学和纳米技术领域的实际应用提供了新思路和方法.

     

    The plasmon cavity system composed of a scanning tunneling microscope tip and a substrate has attracted much attention due to its ability to break through the diffraction limit, enhance the electromagnetic field by hundreds of times, and localize it on a nanometer or even sub-nanometer scale. This plasmon cavity system can serve as an advanced platform for studying superradiance phenomena on an ultrafast scale. Methylene blue molecules have many applications in the field of optics due to their significant light absorption and fluorescence emission characteristics. In this work, macroscopic quantum electrodynamics and open quantum system theory are used to explore the radiation dynamics of methylene blue molecular clusters with three different configurations: cyclic, two-dimensional planar, and one-dimensional chain, in specific scanning tunneling microscope nanocavity and picocavity. Taking the cyclic molecular clusters for example, the radiation effects of different external field excitations on the molecular clusters in the cavity are studied. The research results indicate that for the same molecular cluster configuration, the scanning tunneling microscope picocavity has a more significant superradiance intensity, while the scanning tunneling microscope nanocavity has a longer duration of superradiance. From the perspective of symmetry, the one-dimensional chain molecular clusters only have axial symmetry, while the two-dimensional planar and cyclic molecular clusters have both axial symmetry and central symmetry. The cyclic molecular clusters also have multiple rotational symmetries. Therefore, within the same scanning tunneling microscope cavity, the higher the symmetry of the arrangement of molecular clusters, the easier it is to generate significant superradiance pulses. In addition, because of its higher spatial resolution and stronger local field enhancement effect, the picocavity of scanning tunneling microscope is more sensitive to changes of external conditions such as excitation wavelength. These results indicate that the occurrence and enhancement of superradiance can be effectively controlled by reasonably designing the cavity structure and geometric configuration of molecular clusters, and the time scale of superradiance pulses can be extended to the picosecond order, which provides new ideas and methods for practical applications in the fields of optics and nanotechnology in the future.
