Plasmon-assisted resonant electron tunneling in a scanning tunneling microscope junctionShuyi Liu1, Martin Wolf1, and •Takashi Kumagai1,21Fritz-Haber Institute of the Max-Planck Society — 2JST-PRESTO

Plasmon-induced phenomena have attracted increasing attention due to diverse applications in nanoscale science and technology [1]. Plasmonic nanocavities play a particularly important role because of their ability to confine light to nanometric volumes and generate a strong field enhancement. We report plasmon-assisted resonant electron tunneling from an Ag or Au tip to field emission resonances (FERs) of a Ag(111) surface induced by CW laser excitation of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) junction at visible wavelengths [2]. As a hallmark of the plasmon-assisted resonant tunneling, we observe a downshift of the first peak in the FER spectra by a fixed amount equal to the incident photon energy. STM-induced luminescence measurement for the Ag and Au tip reveals the clear correlation between the laser-induced change in the FER spectra and the plasmonic properties of the junction. Our results clarify a novel resonant electron transfer mechanism in a plasmonic nanocavity. References: [1] M. L. Brongersma, N. J. Halas, P.
