Optically Induced Electron Transfer in Mixed-Valence States: A Model Study on Electronic Transitions, Relaxation Dynamics, and Transient Absorption Spectroscopy.

Quantum dynamical model calculations are performed on the optically induced electron transfer in a mixed-valence system interacting with different solvents. The simultaneously occurring processes of population transfer between electronic states and relaxation are studied in detail. Transient absorption traces, as recently recorded in our laboratory, are simulated, and the features of the spectra are related to the dynamics.

Extended quantum jump description of vibronic two-dimensional spectroscopy.

We calculate two-dimensional (2D) vibronic spectra for a model system involving two electronic molecular states. The influence of a bath is simulated using a quantum-jump approach. We use a method introduced by Makarov and Metiu [J.
