摘要
Surface-enhanced Raman spectra of a single Fe-protoporphyrin IX molecule display drastic fluctuations in frequency and intensity. When analyzed in their temporal evolution, the vibrational modes of the molecule undergo an on-off switching behavior that is shown to follow a Levy statistics. Such a time dependent process may encode both the dynamics of the molecule-environment interactions and the intrinsic gating or activation of the mode emission mechanism.
