Quantum interference and the time-dependent radiation of nanojunctions

Michael Ridley, Lev Kantorovich, Robert van Leeuwen, Riku Tuovinen

Physical Review B· Volume 103· Issue 11

Abstract

Using the recently developed time-dependent Landauer-B\"uttiker formalism and Jefimenko's retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations, we show how to compute the time-dependent electromagnetic field produced by the charge and current densities in nanojunctions out of equilibrium. We then apply this formalism to a benzene ring junction and show that geometry-dependent quantum interference effects can be used to control the magnetic field in the vicinity of the molecule. Then, treating the molecular junction as a quantum emitter, we demonstrate clear signatures of the local molecular geometry in the nonlocal radiated power.
