Single-molecule electroluminescence: crossover from weak to strong coupling
Abstract
We develop a microscopic model to investigate current-induced light emission in single-molecule tunnel junctions, where a two-level system interacts with a plasmonic field. Using the quantum master equation, we explore the transition from weak to strong plasmon-molecule coupling, identifying three distinct regimes governed by cooperativity, which quantifies the interplay between interaction strength and losses. Our findings establish a framework to detect strong coupling, unveiling resonance-dependent features in the emission spectrum and photon correlations.
