摘要: Tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) and optically excited tip-enhanced fluorescence (TEF) of a self-assembled porphyrin monolayer on Ag(111) are studied using an ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling microscope (UHV-STM). Through selectively exciting different Q-bands meso-tetrakis- (3,5-ditertiarybutylphenyl)-porphyrin (H2TBPP), chemical information regarding vibronic states is revealed by combination theory experiment; namely, TERS time-dependent density functional (TDDFT) simulations. The observed TEF spectra suggest weak coupling H2TBPP to the substrate due bulky t-butyl groups possible alternative state decay path. This work demonstrates potential combining for studying surface-mounted porphyins substrates, thus providing insight into porphyrin-sensitized solar cells catalysis.
