Abstract

Quantum tunneling between two plasmonic resonators links non-linear quantum optics with terahertz nanoelectronics. Direct observation of and control over quantum plasmon resonances at length scales in the range 0.4–1.3 nm across molecular tunnel junctions made of two plasmonic resonators bridged by self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) were demonstrated. The tunnel barrier width and height are controlled by the properties of the molecules. Using electron energy-loss spectroscopy, a plasmon mode, the tunneling charge transfer plasmon, whose frequency (ranging from 140 to 245 THz) is dependent on the molecules bridging the gap was observed.
