Tunneling electrons from a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) were used to excite
photon emission from individual porphyrin molecules adsorbed on an ultrathin alumina film
grown on a NiAl (110) surface. Vibrational features were observed in the light-emission
spectra that depended sensitively on the different molecular conformations and
corresponding electronic states obtained by scanning tunneling spectroscopy. The high

Tunneling electrons from a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) were used to excite photon emission from individual porphyrin molecules adsorbed on an ultrathin alumina film grown on a NiAl(110) surface. Vibrational features were observed in the light-emission spectra that depended sensitively on the different molecular conformations and corresponding electronic states obtained by scanning tunneling spectroscopy. The high spatial resolution of the STM enabled the demonstration of variations in light-emission spectra from different parts of the molecule. These experiments realize the feasibility of fluorescence spectroscopy with the STM and enable the integration of optical spectroscopy with a nanoprobe for the investigation of single molecules.
