Size-Independent Energy Transfer in Biomimetic Nanoring Complexes
Supramolecular antenna-ring complexes are of great interest due to their presence in natural light-harvesting complexes. While such systems are known to provide benefits through robust and efficient energy funneling, the relationship between molecular structure, strain (governed by nuclear coordinates and motion), and energy dynamics (arising from electronic behavior) is highly complex. We pres...
متن کاملUltrafast Energy Transfer in Biomimetic Multistrand Nanorings
We report the synthesis of LH2-like supramolecular double- and triple-stranded complexes based upon porphyrin nanorings. Energy transfer from the antenna dimers to the π-conjugated nanoring occurs on a subpicosecond time scale, rivaling transfer rates in natural light-harvesting systems. The presence of a second nanoring acceptor doubles the transfer rate, providing strong evidence for multidir...
متن کاملExcitonic energy transfer in light-harvesting complexes in purple bacteria.
Two distinct approaches, the Frenkel-Dirac time-dependent variation and the Haken-Strobl model, are adopted to study energy transfer dynamics in single-ring and double-ring light-harvesting (LH) systems in purple bacteria. It is found that the inclusion of long-range dipolar interactions in the two methods results in significant increase in intra- or inter-ring exciton transfer efficiency. The ...
متن کاملQuantum scattering model of energy transfer in photosynthetic complexes
We develop a quantum scattering model to describe the exciton transport through the FennaMatthews-Olson(FMO) complex. It is found that the exciton transport involved the optimal quantum coherence is more efficient than that involved classical behavior alone. Furthermore, we also find that the quantum resonance condition is easier to be fulfilled in multiple pathways than that in one pathway. We...
متن کاملEfficient estimation of energy transfer efficiency in light-harvesting complexes.
The fundamental physical mechanisms of energy transfer in photosynthetic complexes is not yet fully understood. In particular, the degree of efficiency or sensitivity of these systems for energy transfer is not known given their realistic with surrounding photonic and phononic environments. One major problem in studying light-harvesting complexes has been the lack of an efficient method for sim...
