説明:

Phthalocyanine monolayers are grown on monolayer and few-layer exfoliated flakes of hexag-onal boron nitride (hBN) which are subsequently integrated into a van der Waals tunnel diode. This heterostructure consists of two thin hBN flakes between which the Pc monolayer is sand-wiched and also incorporates upper and lower few layer graphene contacts. When a voltage is applied between the contacts, a tunnel current flows and the embedded molecules can be ex-cited resulting in the emission of photons with wavelengths which are close to the peaks ob-served in photoluminescence. We also observe electroluminescence at voltages where the en-ergy gained by a tunnelling electron is lower than the energy of the emitted photon implying a multi-electron excitation pathway which we attribute to the formation of an intermediate tri-plet state. Our results provide insights into the differences in excitation and relaxation of mole-cules in supramolecular monolayers and bulk crystals and we discuss how the alignment of the energy levels of the molecules and contact layers determine the emission process.
