Tracking the ultrafast motion of a single molecule by femtosecond orbital imaging

Abstract: Watching a single molecule move on its intrinsic time scale—one of the central goals of modern nanoscience—calls for measurements that combine ultrafast temporal resolution1–8 with atomic spatial resolution9–30. Steady-state experiments achieve the requisite spatial resolution, as illustrated by direct imaging of individual molecular orbitals using scanning tunnelling microscopy9–11 or the acquisition of tip-enhanced Raman and luminescence spectra with sub-molecular resolution27–29. But tracking the dynamics o… Show more

“…In contrast, the nonequilibrium problems are often much richer and more interesting than equilibrium properties [20][21][22]. This is especially relevant when nowaday transport measurements are pushing the temporal resolution to sub-picosecond regime [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30], and these ultrafast processes can be observed in real time.…”

“…1,2,3,4 In solids, examples are the ultrafast coherent control over the motion of lattice ions and ordered electron spins, and the transport of charge carriers, even across the atomic-scale junction of scanning tunneling microscopes. 5 To implement such material control, elevated field strengths >100 kV cm -1 over a wide frequency range are required. Furthermore, to access more resonances with better time resolution, higher bandwidth is highly desirable.…”

“…Dadurch erhielt man zeitlich aufgelçste Orbitalstrukturen von Molekülen im Femtosekundenbereich. [175] Die Gruppe von Heinrich und Lutz führte die Technik der paramagnetischen Elektronenspinresonanz-STM ein, mit der man Spins und Kohärenzzeiten von einzelnen Atomen messen kann [176,177] diese Methode sollte künftig auch auf magnetische Moleküle anwendbar sein. Neuerdings hat es auch große Fortschritte beim Nachweis von STM-induzierter Lumineszenz von Molekülen gegeben, die Einsicht in die Kopplung und den Energietransfer zwischen individuellen Molekülen geben.…”
