Abstract
We have studied the effect of the plasmon field on the STM-induced luminescence from porphyrin (H2TBPP) film on Au substrate. We have measured the spectrally resolved photon intensity map for the STM-induced luminescence, and found the similarity of their contrast for the photon maps for different spectral regions with different spectral origins, i.e. molecular fluorescence and the local plasmon induced luminescence from the substrate. This fact indicates that the molecular fluorescence is closely related with the plasmon field of the substrate, and supports that the STM-induced fluorescence from porphyrin film on Au is enhanced by the local plasmon field of the Au substrate.
