Electron–phonon coupling in two-photon spectral gratings: role of molecular symmetry
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study spectral gratings obtained as a result of two-photon excitation of the lowest electronic transition of several tetrapyrrole molecules with phase-locked pairs of femtosecond pulses. A particular dependence of these gratings on temperature indicates that mirror symmetry is present between two-photon absorption (TPA) and one-photon fluorescence spectra for non-centrosymmetrical chlorin, but fails for centrosymmetrical naphthalocyanine. The latter case is best described if the homogeneous TPA spectrum contains phonon sideband, but not the zero-phonon line. These results are discussed in terms of alternative selection rules for oneand two-photon transitions in centrosymmetrical molecules. r 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Linear-response Calculations of Electron-phonon Coupling Parameters and Free Energies of Defects
Linear-response theory provides an eecient approach for calculating the vibrational properties of solids. Moreover, because the use of supercells is eliminated, points with little or no symmetry in the Brillouin zone can be handled. This allows accurate determinations of quantities such as real-space force constants and electron-phonon coupling parameters. We present highly converged calculatio...

The one photon absorption (OPA) cross section of a current carrying two-orbital quantum dot (QD) with strong electron-phonon interaction (polaron regime) is considered. Using the self-consistent non-equilibrium Hartree-Fock (HF) approximation, we determine the dependence of OPA cross section on the applied bias voltage, the strength of effective electron-electron interaction, and level spacing ...
متن کاملAb initio calculations of thermal radiative properties: The semiconductor GaAs
Spectral reflectance of GaAs from infrared (IR) to ultra-violet (UV) bands is predicted using ab initio calculations. We first predict the spectral dielectric function. Two major mechanisms exist for different photon wavelength, namely, photon–electron coupling in the UV to near-IR region and photon–phonon coupling in the far-IR region. For the near-IR to UV band, the electronic band structure ...

Electron-phonon coupling (EPC) plays an important role in solid state physics. Here, we demonstrate an experimental method that enables investigation of the elemental processes of the indirect transition, in which EPC participates in photoexcitation in solids, by resolving the energy and momentum of phonons and electrons simultaneously. For graphite, we used angle-resolved photoelectron spectro...
