摘要
We consider the radiation of angular momentum (AM) from current-carrying molecular junctions. Using the nonequilibrium Green's function method, we derive a convenient formula for the AM radiation and apply it to a prototypical benzene molecule junction. We discuss the selection rules for inelastic transitions between the molecular angular momentum eigenstates due to a sixfold rotational symmetry. Our study provides important insights into the generation of light with AM from DC-biased molecular junctions.
