We probed excitonic emission from GNRs synthesized on a metal surface with atomic-scale spatial resolution. A scanning tunneling microscope (STM)\u2013based method to transfer the GNRs to a partially insulating surface was used to prevent luminescence quenching of the ribbons. STM-induced fluorescence spectra reveal emission from localized dark excitons that are associated with the topological end states of the GNRs. A low-frequency vibronic emission comb is observed and attributed to longitudinal acoustic modes that are confined to a finite box. Our study provides a path to investigate the interplay between excitons, vibrons, and topology in graphene nanostructures.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:18px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-bad7d0ec alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-buttons uagb-buttons__outer-wrap uagb-btn__default-btn uagb-btn-tablet__default-btn uagb-btn-mobile__default-btn uagb-block-a37a27b2\"><div class=\"uagb-buttons__wrap uagb-buttons-layout-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-buttons-child uagb-buttons__outer-wrap uagb-block-c6d78bbd wp-block-button is-style-outline\"><div class=\"uagb-button__wrapper\"><a class=\"uagb-buttons-repeater wp-block-button__link has-text-color\" href=\"https:\/\/www.science.org\/doi\/10.1126\/science.abq6948\" onclick=\"return true;\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><div class=\"uagb-button__link\">Full Text<\/div><span class=\"uagb-button__icon uagb-button__icon-position-after\"><svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M438.6 278.6l-160 160C272.4 444.9 264.2 448 256 448s-16.38-3.125-22.62-9.375c-12.5-12.5-12.5-32.75 0-45.25L338.8 288H32C14.33 288 .0016 273.7 .0016 256S14.33 224 32 224h306.8l-105.4-105.4c-12.5-12.5-12.5-32.75 0-45.25s32.75-12.5 45.25 0l160 160C451.1 245.9 451.1 266.1 438.6 278.6z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-buttons-child uagb-buttons__outer-wrap uagb-block-16807cb4 wp-block-button is-style-outline\"><div class=\"uagb-button__wrapper\"><a class=\"uagb-buttons-repeater wp-block-button__link has-text-color\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nanosciences-spm-uhv.com\/en\/gdr\/publications\/\" onclick=\"return true;\" rel=\"follow noopener\" target=\"_self\"><div class=\"uagb-button__link\">Back to Publications<\/div><span class=\"uagb-button__icon uagb-button__icon-position-after\"><svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M438.6 278.6l-160 160C272.4 444.9 264.2 448 256 448s-16.38-3.125-22.62-9.375c-12.5-12.5-12.5-32.75 0-45.25L338.8 288H32C14.33 288 .0016 273.7 .0016 256S14.33 224 32 224h306.8l-105.4-105.4c-12.5-12.5-12.5-32.75 0-45.25s32.75-12.5 45.25 0l160 160C451.1 245.9 451.1 266.1 438.6 278.6z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>DOI : <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1126\/science.abq6948\">10.1126\/science.abq6948<\/a><\/p><p>Authors : Song Jiang, Tom\u00e1\u0161 Neuman, Alex Boeglin, Fabrice Scheurer, and Guillaume Schull<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Intrinsic optoelectronic properties of atomically precise graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) remain largely unexplored because of luminescence quenching effects that are due to the metallic substrate on which the ribbons are grown.
