The square of λ is reported to be 0.61 on the basis of first-principles
calculations Tariquidar purchase [18]. The parameter U β is given so that the molecular vibrational lifetime due to the coupling to the thermal phonon bath is 13 ps [13]. A Markovian decay is assumed for the surface plasmon so that the plasmon lifetime for V=0 eV becomes 4.7 fs [13, 18]. The coefficient T pl is set in the range of 10-4 to 10-2, where the tunneling current is I t = 200 pA, and an excitation probability of the surface plasmons per electron tunneling event is considered to be in the range of 10-2 to 1. Results and discussion Figure 2 shows the luminescence spectra of the molecule B L at the bias voltage V bias = 1.8 V. Although the product of the elementary charge and the bias voltage e V bias is lower than the HOMO-LUMO gap energy , the molecular luminescence is found. The results indicate that the electron transitions of the molecule occur at this bias voltage. A peak structure with a long tail is observed in the energy range higher than e V bias = 1.8 eV. The contribution of the vibrational excitations can be found in comparison with the vibrational state in thermal equilibrium, where the molecular vibration with the energy is distributed according to the Bose distribution function at T = 80 K, and therefore, the molecular vibration is almost in the ground state.

Here, (a) T pl = 10-4 and , (b) T pl = 10-2 SC79 in vivo and , (c) T pl = 10-4 and , and (d) T pl = 10-2 and . The exciton-plasmon coupling is V = 0.10 eV. The dependence of luminescence spectra on T pl and is also shown in Figure 2. The Fossariinae luminescence intensity increases as T pl increases. The luminescence intensity in the energy range lower than e V bias is proportional to T pl, and the intensity of the upconverted luminescence is proportional to the square of T pl. As the energy of the surface plasmon mode is shifted to the low-energy side, the luminescence intensity increases. This increase is attributed to the fact that since the energy of the surface plasmon mode is lower than e V bias, the electron transitions in the molecule in the energy range lower than e V bias are enhanced by the surface plasmons. Figure 3 shows the bias voltage dependence of the vibrational occupation number and the population of the molecular exciton . It is confirmed that the vibrational excitations occur at V bias = 1.8 V. Thus, the vibrational excitations assist the occurrence of the upconverted luminescence. The slope of n e changes at V bias of approximately 1.85 eV for (Figure 3b,d) and at V bias of approximately 1.90 eV for (Figure 3f,h). At this bias voltage, the excitation channels of the molecule increase.
