Abstract Vibrational energy transfer (VET) is emerging as key mechanism for protein functions, possibly playing an important role dissipation, allosteric regulation, and enzyme catalysis. A deep understanding of VET required to elucidate its in such processes. Ultrafast VIS‐pump/IR‐probe spectroscopy can detect pathways proteins. However, the requirement having a donor sensor installed simultan...

Terahertz absorption spectra have been recorded for the weakly bound CO2-H2O complex embedded in cryogenic neon matrices at 2.8 K. The three high-frequency van der Waals vibrational transitions associated with out-of-plane wagging, in-plane rocking, and torsional motion of the isotopic H2O subunit have been assigned and provide crucial observables for benchmark theoretical descriptions of this ...

DVR3D calculates rotationless (J = 0) vibrational energy levels and wavefunctions for triatomic systems using scattering (Jacobi) coordinates, or optionally unsymmetrised Radau coordinates, for a given potential energy surface. The program uses a discrete variable representation (DVR) based on Gauss—Legendre and Gauss—Laguerre quadrature for all 3 internal coordinates and thus yields a fully po...

A new algorithm for computing anharmonic vibrational states for polyatomic molecules is proposed. The algorithm starts with the vibrational self-consistent field ~VSCF! method and uses degenerate perturbation theory to correct for effects of correlation between different vibrational modes. The algorithm is developed in a version that computes the anharmonic vibrational spectroscopy directly fro...

Electronic devices composed of single molecules constitute the ultimate limit in the continued downscaling of electronic components. A key challenge for single-molecule electronics is to control the temperature of these junctions. Controlling heating and cooling effects in individual vibrational modes can, in principle, be utilized to increase stability of single-molecule junctions under bias, ...
