“…In particular, it was demonstrated that stress in the host crystal induced by hydrostatic pressure causes a strong red shift [31][32][33] in line with the established knowledge of the solvent shift model. 34 It has been shown experimentally that a linear approximation for the resonance frequency shift as function of pressure is justified for pressures up to 3.5 GPa.…”

“…pentacene in p-terphenyl and terrylene in p-terphenyl) showed resonance shifts of about 1 MHz hPa À1 . [31][32][33] Using these values and assuming no relaxation, we would expect the maximal shift to be in the range of about 7 THz. If we extrapolate our observed shifts for the crystal thickness approaching 0 nm, we expect a shift of about 2 THz.…”

We perform high-resolution spectroscopy and localization microscopy to study single dye molecules confined to nanoscopic dimensions in one direction. We provide the fabrication details of our nanoscopic glass channels and the procedure for filling them with organic matrices. Optical data on hundreds of molecules in different channel depths show a clear trend from narrow stable lines in deep channels to broader linewidths in ultrathin matrices. In addition, we observe a steady blue shift of the center of the inhomogeneous band as the channels become thinner. Furthermore, we use super-resolution localization microscopy to correlate the positions and orientations of the individual dye molecules with the lateral landscape of the organic matrix, including cracks and strain-induced dislocations. Our results and methodology are useful for a number of studies in various fields such as physical chemistry, solid-state spectroscopy, and quantum nano-optics.

“…There were several early SMS studies on terrrylene (52), [219][220][221][222][223] including, as mentioned in the Introduction, the direct observation of quantum jumps between singlet and triplet states. [32] Isolated molecules of TDI 53 have been studied by frequency-selective high-resolution laser spectroscopy at liquid helium temperatures and by confocal fluorescence microscopy between 100 K and room temperature, and their spectral dynamics determined.…”

The development of nanotechnology using organic materials is one of the most intellectually and commercially exciting stories of our times. Advances in synthetic chemistry and in methods for the investigation and manipulation of individual molecules and small ensembles of molecules have produced major advances in the field of organic nanomaterials. The new insights into the optical and electronic properties of molecules obtained by means of single-molecule spectroscopy and scanning probe microscopy have spurred chemists to conceive and make novel molecular and supramolecular designs. Methods have also been sought to exploit the properties of these materials in optoelectronic devices, and prototypes and models for new nanoscale devices have been demonstrated. This Review aims to show how the interaction between synthetic chemistry and spectroscopy has driven the field of organic nanomaterials forward towards the ultimate goal of new technology.

“…The electrostatic field of a single electron at a 100 nm distance is roughly 150 kV/m. This field is high enough to shift the transition frequency of these molecules by more than three times its 42 MHz linewidth [16]. Considering this gigantic sensitivity and the small size of these molecules, Caruge and Orrit have suggested to detect electronic currents in semiconductors using organic molecules as nanoprobes [17].…”

Single molecules that exhibit narrow optical transitions at cryogenic temperatures can be used as local electricfield sensors. We derive the single-charge sensitivity of aromatic organic dye molecules, based on quantum mechanical considerations. Through numerical modeling, we demonstrate that by using currently available technologies it is possible to optically detect charging events in a granular network with a sensitivity better than 10−5 e/ √ Hz and track positions of multiple electrons, simultaneously, with nanometer spatial resolution. Our results pave the way for minimally invasive optical inspection of electronic and spintronic nanodevices and building hybrid optoelectronic interfaces that function at both single-photon and single-electron levels.
