The coupled processes of intermolecular photoinduced forward electron transfer and geminate recombination between the (hole) donor (Rhodamine 3B) and (hole) acceptors (N,N-dimethylaniline) are studied in three molecular liquids: acetonitrile, butyronitrile, and benzonitrile. Two color pump-probe experiments on time scales from approximately 100 fs to hundreds of picoseconds give information abo...

Donor spin in silicon have achieved record values of coherence times and single-qubit gate fidelities. The next stage development involves demonstrating high-fidelity two-qubit logic gates, where the most natural coupling is exchange interaction. To aid efficient design scalable donor-based quantum processors, we model two-electron wave function using a full configuration interaction method wit...

We have characterized the size, intensity, density, and distribution of charge-transfer (CT) excitons as a function acceptor–donor architecture prototypical organic interfaces. This characterization was done by computational analysis 17 models varying numbers, positions, orientations donor acceptor molecules. The models’ building blocks were phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) fullerene...

Irradiation of tris-washed chloroplasts with moderate intensities of red light caused a partial bleaching of chloroplast pigments and an inhibition of the hydroquinone-supported photoreduction of NADP. The presence of an electron donor for photosystem 2 (PS2) during the irradiation prevented the bleaching and inhibition. It is concluded that the strong oxidant produced by PS2 accumulates in tri...
