Charge transfer in ultrafast isomerization of acetylene ions

Ultrafast charge transfer processes in solution

Charge transfer reactions in solution are of fundamental importance in many areas of chemistry and biology. As commonly accepted, electron transfer reaction is regarded as the simplest chemical reaction because of the absence of bond-breaking and bondforming processes. It plays a key role in biocatalysis and in photosynthesis. On the other hand, neutralisation reactions between Brønsted acids a...

Ultrafast charge transfer and atomic orbital polarization.

The role of orbital polarization for ultrafast charge transfer between an atomic adsorbate and a substrate is explored. Core hole clock spectroscopy with linearly polarized x-ray radiation allows to selectively excite adsorbate resonance states with defined spatial orientation relative to the substrate surface. For c(4 x 2)S/Ru(0001) the charge transfer times between the sulfur 2s(-1)3p*+1 anti...

The Ultrafast Structural Pathway of Charge Transfer in Tetramethylethylenediamine

Ultrafast investigation of photoinduced charge transfer in aminoanthraquinone pharmaceutical product

We investigated the mechanism of intramolecular charge transfer and the following radiationless dynamics of the excited states of 1-aminoanthraquinone using steady state and time-resolved absorption spectroscopy combined with quantum chemical calculations. Following photoexcitation with 460 nm, conformational relaxation via twisting of the amino group, charge transfer and the intersystem crossi...

Ultrafast charge transfer in atomically thin MoS₂/WS₂ heterostructures.

Van der Waals heterostructures have recently emerged as a new class of materials, where quantum coupling between stacked atomically thin two-dimensional layers, including graphene, hexagonal-boron nitride and transition-metal dichalcogenides (MX2), give rise to fascinating new phenomena. MX2 heterostructures are particularly exciting for novel optoelectronic and photovoltaic applications, becau...
