Ultrafast electron transfer, recombination and spin dynamics
نویسنده
چکیده
The quenching of excited singlet methylene blue (IMB + * ) by N,N-dimethylaminomethylferrocene (FcN) in acetonitrile at room temperature has been studied using femtosecond pump-probe absorption spectroscopy. At high FcN concentration static quenching via an intermolecular electron transfer mechanism constitutes the predominating decay channel for l MB + * The time constants of the large amplitude components for the forward electron transfer from FcN donor to ~ MB ÷ * and the subsequent recombination process recovering the ground states have been determined to be 390 fs and 1 ps, respectively. Thus, the majority of radical pairs has recombined before paramagnetic relaxation induces spin mixing giving rise to triplet-phased radical pairs. These can escape geminate recombination as the system does not offer low-lying local triplet states to be occupied in the recombination process. © 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.

Magnetic field effect on picosecond electron transfer
The recombination dynamics of a transition metal redox system monitored by femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy are shown to be sensitive to high magnetic fields at times shorter than 10 picoseconds. The effect, based on coherent population beats of different spin states, is quantitatively accounted for and allows direct access to spin relaxation rates far beyond the time resolution of the faste...
متن کاملUltrafast Multi-Level Logic Gates with Spin-Valley Coupled Polarization Anisotropy in Monolayer MoS2
The inherent valley-contrasting optical selection rules for interband transitions at the K and K' valleys in monolayer MoS2 have attracted extensive interest. Carriers in these two valleys can be selectively excited by circularly polarized optical fields. The comprehensive dynamics of spin valley coupled polarization and polarized exciton are completely resolved in this work. Here, we present a...
متن کاملMagnetic field and temperature dependencies shed light on the recombination kinetics of a transition metal donor/acceptor system.
The radical pair recombination of an intramolecular electron-transfer system containing a transition metal moiety has been addressed by femtosecond spectroscopy. The radical pair is formed by ultrafast electron transfer (90 fs) from a ferrocene residue to a photoexcited Nile blue moiety. Its recombination proceeds on the picosecond time scale in a multiexponential fashion. The kinetic pattern i...
متن کاملDirect probing of photoinduced electron transfer in a self-assembled biomimetic [2Fe2S]-hydrogenase complex using ultrafast vibrational spectroscopy.
A pyridyl-functionalized diiron dithiolate complex, [μ-(4-pyCH2-NMI-S2)Fe2(CO)6] (3, py = pyridine (ligand), NMI = naphthalene monoimide) was synthesized and fully characterized. In the presence of zinc tetraphenylporphyrin (ZnTPP), a self-assembled 3·ZnTPP complex was readily formed in CH2Cl2 by the coordination of the pyridyl nitrogen to the porphyrin zinc center. Ultrafast photoinduced elect...

We investigate the nature of ultrafast exciton dissociation and carrier generation in acceptor-doped conjugated polymers. Using a combination of two-pulse femtosecond spectroscopy with photocurrent detection, we compare the exciton dissociation and geminate charge recombination dynamics in blends of two conjugated polymers, MeLPPP methyl-substituted ladder-type poly p-phenylene and MDMO-PPV pol...
