Published: July 2011

We explore three specific approaches for speeding up the calculation of quantum time correlation functions needed for time-resolved electronic spectra. The first relies on finding a minimum set of sufficiently accurate electronic surfaces. The second increases the time step required for convergence of exact quantum simulations by using different split-step algorithms to solve the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. The third approach lowers the number of trajectories needed for convergence of approximate semiclassical dynamics methods.

Terahertz Saturable Absorption across Charge Separation in Photoexcited Monolayer Graphene/MoS Heterostructure.

J Phys Chem Lett

Key Laboratory of Materials Physics, Institute of Solid State Physics, HFIPS, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hefei 230031, China.

Unveiling the nonlinear interactions between terahertz (THz) electromagnetic waves and free carriers in two-dimensional materials is crucial for the development of high-field and high-frequency electronic devices. Herein, we investigate THz nonlinear transport dynamics in a monolayer graphene/MoS heterostructure using time-resolved THz spectroscopy with intense THz pulses as the probe. Following ultrafast photoexcitation, the interfacial charge transfer establishes a nonequilibrium carrier redistribution, leaving free holes in the graphene and trapping electrons in the MoS.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have improved survival rates in oncology, but there is a rising concern for immune-related adverse health outcomes. Monitoring drug serum concentration would enable tailored dosing, however this strategy has not yet been evaluated for ICIs. Fully automated analyte capture assays with time-resolved fluorometry using protein A as tracer, were developed for three different ICIs; the cytotoxic T lymphocyte Antigen-4 (CTLA4) inhibitor ipilimumab (Yervoy; Bristol-Myers Squibb) and the Programmed Death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors nivolumab (Opdivo; Bristol-Myers Squibb) and pembrolizumab (Keytruda; Merck).

Purpose: Current technologies to define the zone of acute peripheral nerve injury intraoperatively are limited by surgical experience, time, cumbersome electrodiagnostic equipment, and interpreter reliability. In this pilot study, we evaluated a real-time, label-free optical technique for intraoperative nerve injury imaging. We hypothesize that fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIm) will detect a difference between the time-resolved fluorescence signatures for acute crush injuries versus uninjured segments of peripheral nerves in sheep.

Article Synopsis
  • The study evaluates different DFT and TD-DFT methods for simulating ultrafast excited-state dynamics in Fe(II) complexes.
  • The research uses time-resolved X-ray emission spectroscopy data from specific iron complexes to benchmark simulation results between metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) and metal-centered (MC) states.
  • Findings suggest that the choice of DFT/TD-DFT method significantly impacts simulation accuracy, with B3LYP* and TPSSh performing best in matching experimental dynamics.

Spatiotemporal Spectroscopy of Fast Excited-State Diffusion in 2D Covalent Organic Framework Thin Films.

J Am Chem Soc

January 2025

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), crystalline and porous conjugated structures, are of great interest for sustainable energy applications. Organic building blocks in COFs with suitable electronic properties can feature strong optical absorption, whereas the extended crystalline network can establish a band structure enabling long-range coherent transport. This peculiar combination of both molecular and solid-state materials properties makes COFs an interesting platform to study and ultimately utilize photoexcited charge carrier diffusion.
