| Research Abstract |
By means of our theoretical method for calculating interaction between the localized electromagnetic field and molecular systems, we have proposed that the optically forbidden transition and the site selective excitation of single molecules are possible, and that the peculiar quantum energy flow such as the energy transparency at metal occurs by controlling eigenstates of the metal-molecule coupled system. We have also theoretically demonstrated that the mechanical manipulation of single molecules is possible by using nanogap plasmon.
