• Abstract summary: Trions and neutral excitons can be efficiently induced in single molecules by tip-enhanced spectromicroscopic techniques. Here, we investigate exciton-trion dynamics by phase fluorometry, combining radio-frequency scanning tunnelling luminescence with time-resolved single photon detection. We generate excitons and trions in single Zinc Phthalocyanine (ZnPc) molecules on NaCl/Ag(111), determine their dynamics and trace the evolution of the system in the picosecond range with atomic resolution.

• Abstract: Charged optical excitations (trions) generated by charge carrier injection are crucial for emerging optoelectronic technologies as they can be produced and manipulated by electric fields. Trions and neutral excitons can be efficiently induced in single molecules by means of tip-enhanced spectromicroscopic techniques. However, little is known of the exciton-trion dynamics at single molecule level as this requires methods permitting simultaneous sub-nanometer and sub-nanosecond characterization. Here, we investigate exciton-trion dynamics by phase fluorometry, combining radio-frequency modulated scanning tunnelling luminescence with time-resolved single photon detection. We generate excitons and trions in single Zinc Phthalocyanine (ZnPc) molecules on NaCl/Ag(111), determine their dynamics and trace the evolution of the system in the picosecond range with atomic resolution. In addition, we explore dependence of effective lifetimes on bias voltage and propose a conversion of neutral excitons into trions via charge capture as the primary mechanism of trion formation.

  We propose a microfabrication technique based on focused Ga+ ion beams, which enables us to control the number of peaks originating from the moire potential. By taking advantage of this approach, we reveal emissions from a single moire exciton and charged moire exciton (trion) under electrostatic doping conditions.

  Transition metal dichalcogenides layered nano-crystals are emerging as promising candidates for next-generation optoelectronic and quantum devices. Here, we use ultrafast electron diffraction and ab initio calculations to investigate the many-body structural dynamics following nearly-resonant excitation of low-energy indirect excitons in MoS2. Our results highlight the strong selectivity of phononic excitations directly associated with the specific indirect-exciton nature of the wavelength-dependent electronic transitions triggered in the system.

  Molecular aggregates on plasmonic nanoparticles have emerged as attractive systems for the studies of cavity quantum electrodynamics. We show that while the metal is responsible for destroying the coherence of the excitation, the molecular aggregate significantly participates in dissipating the energy. We show that the dynamics beyond a few femtoseconds has to be cast in the language of hot electron distributions and excitons.
