Single-molecule photoelectron tunnelling spectroscopy

Experimental mapping of transmission is essential for understanding and controlling charge transport through molecular devices and materials. Here we developed a single-molecule photoelectron tunnelling spectroscopy approach for mapping transmission beyond the HOMO–LUMO gap of the single diketopyrro...

description Experimental mapping of transmission is essential for understanding and controlling charge transport through molecular devices and materials. Here we developed a single-molecule photoelectron tunnelling spectroscopy approach for mapping transmission beyond the HOMO–LUMO gap of the single diketopyrrolopyrrole molecule junction using an ultrafast-laser combined scanning tunnelling microscope-based break junction set-up at room temperature. Two resonant transport channels of ultrafast photocurrent are found by our photoelectron tunnelling spectroscopy, ranging from 1.31 eV to 1.77 eV, consistent with the LUMO + 1 and LUMO + 2 in the transmission spectrum obtained by density functional theory calculations. Moreover, we observed the modulation of resonant peaks by varying bias voltages, which demonstrates the ability to quantitatively characterize the effect of the electric field on frontier molecular orbitals. Our single-molecule photoelectron tunnelling spectroscopy offers an avenue that allows us to explore the nature of energy-dependent charge transport through single-molecule junctions. The transmission spectrum reflects energy alignment between electrodes and frontier orbitals in single-molecule junctions but few experimental tools exist for characterization beyond the HOMO–LUMO gap. Here, the authors develop a single-molecule photoelectron tunnelling spectroscopy approach that makes it possible to map the transmission spectrum beyond the HOMO–LUMO gap at room temperature.
