Published: October 2011

Time propagation of zero-order states of an effective spectroscopic Hamiltonian is tested against femtosecond time dependent dynamics of adiabatic wavepackets evolving on a model potential energy surface for two coupled modes of the radical HO(2) with multiple potential wells and above barrier motion. A generalized Hamiltonian which breaks the usual conserved polyad action by including extra resonance couplings (V(2:1) and V(3:1)) successfully describes the time evolution after the further addition of two "ultrafast" couplings. These new couplings are a nonresonant coupling a(1)a(2)+a(1)(†)a(2)(†) and a resonant coupling V(1:1) that functions as an ultrafast term because the system is far from 1:1 frequency resonance.

Photosynthesis in nature begins with light harvesting. The special pigment-protein complex converts sunlight into electron excitation that is transmitted to the reaction center, which triggers charge separation. Evidence shows that quantum coherence between electron excited states is important in the excitation energy transfer process.

Electronic band evolution between Lieb and kagome nanoribbons.

Departamento de Física, Universidade Federal do Ceará, Campus do Pici, Bloco 922, 60455-900, Fortaleza, 60455-900, BRAZIL.

We investigate the electronic properties of nanoribbons made out of monolayer Lieb, transition, and kagome lattices using the tight-binding model with a generic Hamiltonian. It allows us to map the evolutionary stages of the interconvertibility process between Lieb and kagome nanoribbons by means of only one control parameter. Results for the energy spectra, the density of states, and spatial probability density distributions are discussed for nanoribbons with three types of edges: straight, bearded, and asymmetric.

Article Synopsis
  • Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) and quantum technologies utilize the spin transfer in electron-nuclear quantum systems, but larger couplings like hyperfine interactions can hinder these processes.
  • The Schrieffer-Wolff transformation is applied to analyze a system of two electrons and two nuclei, focusing on polarization-transfer methods, including an energy-conserving electron-nuclear four-spin flip-flop.
  • The study connects magnetic resonance and quantum information, demonstrating a model where all nuclear spins can aid in hyperpolarization without being impeded by a spin diffusion barrier in DNP.

This study probes the vibronic interactions in the photoelectron spectra of CAlGe, exploring its six excited electronic states through an approach that combines the electronic structure calculations and the quantum nuclear dynamics. Central to this investigation is utilizing a model diabatic Hamiltonian, which allows for the exact evaluation of Hamiltonian parameters and fitting potential energy cuts (PECs). Notably, the analysis of these PECs uncovers pronounced nonadiabatic effects within the photoelectron spectra, emphasized by the presence of multiple conical intersections.

Collective strong light-matter coupling provides a versatile means to manipulate physicochemical properties of molecules and materials. Understanding collective polaritonic dynamics is hindered by the macroscopic number of molecules interacting collectively with photonic modes. We develop a many-body theory to investigate the spectroscopy and dynamics of a molecular ensemble embedded in an optical cavity in the collective strong coupling regime.
