Exciton dynamics in perturbed vibronic molecular aggregates.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A site specific perturbation of a photo-excited molecular aggregate can lead to a localization of excitonic energy. We investigate this localization dynamics for laser-prepared excited states. Changing the parameters of the electric field significantly influences the exciton localization which offers the possibility for a selective control of this process. This is demonstrated for aggregates possessing a single vibrational degree of freedom per monomer unit. It is shown that the effects identified for the molecular dimer can be generalized to larger aggregates with a high density of vibronic states.

Intrinsic optical bistability of thin films of linear molecular aggregates: the two-exciton approximation.
We generalize our recent work on the optical bistability of thin films of molecular aggregates [J. A. Klugkist et al., J. Chem. Phys. 127, 164705 (2007)] by accounting for the optical transitions from the one-exciton manifold to the two-exciton manifold as well as the exciton-exciton annihilation of the two-exciton states via a high-lying molecular vibronic term. We also include the relaxation ...
متن کاملVibronic enhancement of exciton sizes and energy transport in photosynthetic complexes.
Transport processes and spectroscopic phenomena in light harvesting proteins depend sensitively on the characteristics of electron-phonon couplings. Decoherence imposed by low-frequency nuclear motion generally suppresses the delocalization of electronic states, whereas the Franck-Condon progressions of high-frequency intramolecular modes underpin a hierarchy of vibronic Coulombic interactions ...
متن کاملDirect observation of ultrafast coherent exciton dynamics in helical π-stacks of self-assembled perylene bisimides
Ever since the discovery of dye self-assemblies in nature, there have been tremendous efforts to exploit biomimetic supramolecular assemblies for tailored artificial photon processing materials. This feature necessarily has resulted in an increasing demand for understanding exciton dynamics in the dye self-assemblies. In a sharp contrast with J-type aggregates, however, the detailed observation...
متن کاملInterplay between nonadiabatic dynamics and Frenkel exciton transfer in molecular aggregates: formulation and application to a perylene bismide model.
The quantum dynamics of linear molecular aggregates in the presence of S0 → S1 and S0 → S2 transitions is investigated by putting emphasis on the interplay between local nonadiabatic S2 to S1 deactivation and Frenkel exciton transfer. The theoretical approach combines aspects of the linear vibronic coupling and Frenkel exciton models. Dynamics calculations are performed for the absorption spect...
متن کاملTheory of femtosecond coherent double-pump single-molecule spectroscopy: Application to light harvesting complexes.
We develop a first principles theoretical description of femtosecond double-pump single-molecule signals of molecular aggregates. We incorporate all singly excited electronic states and vibrational modes with significant exciton-phonon coupling into a system Hamiltonian and treat the ensuing system dynamics within the Davydov D1 Ansatz. The remaining intra- and inter-molecular vibrational modes...
