Intramolecular excitation energy hopping (EEH) time within a dodecameric porphyrin wheel C6ZA, in which six meso-meso linked zinc(II) diporphyrin (Z2) subunits are bridged by 1,3-phenylene spacers, is deduced by a Förster energy hopping model based on S(1)-S(1) exciton-exciton annihilation and anisotropy depolarization. Under the assumption that the energy hopping sites are six Z2 subunits, two different observables (e.g., exciton-exciton annihilation and anisotropy depolarization times) consistently give the EEH time of 4.0 +/- 0.4 ps via 1,3-phenylene spacer of C6ZA, which is faster than 9.4 ps of linear 2Z2 (1,3-phenylene-linked zinc(II) tetraporphyrin). As a consequence, C6ZA serves as a well-defined two-dimensional model for a light-harvesting complex.

Electronic flat bands can lead to rich many-body quantum phases by quenching the electron's kinetic energy and enhancing many-body correlation. The reduced bandwidth can be realized by either destructive quantum interference in frustrated lattices, or by generating heavy band folding with avoided band crossing in Moiré superlattices. Here a general approach is proposed to introduce flat bands into widely studied transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) materials by dilute intercalation.

The energy gaps, spin-orbit coupling (SOC), and admixture coefficients over a series of the configurations are evaluated by the SA-CASSCF/6-31G, SA-CASSCF/6-31G*, SA-CASSCF/ANO-RCC-VDZP, and MS-CASPT2/ANO-RCC-VDZP to reveal the extent of the inaccuracy of the SA-CASSCF. By comparing the mean absolute errors for the energy gaps and the admixture coefficient magnitudes (ACMs) measured between the SA-CASSCF/6-31G, SA-CASSCF/6-31G*, or SA-CASSCF/ANO-RCC-VDZP and the MS-CASPT2/ANO-RCC-VDZP, the SA-CASSCF/6-31G is selected as the electronic structure method in the nonadiabatic molecular dynamics simulation. The major components of the ACMs of the SA-CASSCF/6-31G and MS-CASPT2/ANO-RCC-VDZP are identified and compared; we find that the ACMs are underestimated by the SA-CASSCF/6-31G, which is verified by the reasonable triplet quantum yield simulated by the trajectory surface hopping and the calibrated SA-CASSCF/6-31G.

Polymer-based dielectric films are increasingly demanded for devices under high electric fields used in new energy vehicles, photovoltaic grid connections, oil and gas exploration, and aerospace. However, leakage current is one of the significant factors limiting the improvement of the insulation performance. This paper tested the leakage current and condensed state structure characteristics of biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) films and obtained the nonlinear characteristics of leakage current of BOPP films in the range of 40-440 V/μm and 40-110 °C.

Two-dimensional (2D) electronic spectra of the phenylene ethynylene dendrimer with 2-ring and 3-ring branches were evaluated by combining the on-the-fly trajectory surface hopping nonadiabatic dynamics and the doorway-window simulation protocol. The ground state bleach (GSB), stimulated emission (SE), and excited-state absorption (ESA) contributions to the 2D signal were obtained and carefully analyzed. The results demonstrate that the ultrafast intramolecular nonadiabatic excited-state energy transfer (EET) from the 2-ring to the 3-ring units is comprehensively characterized by the SE and ESA signals.
