A Novel Construction of Complex-valued Gaussian Processes with Arbitrary Spectral Densities and its Application to Excitation Energy Transfer
Xin Chen, Jianshu Cao, Robert Silbey
The recent experimental discoveries about excitation energy transfer (EET) in light harvesting antenna (LHA) attract a lot of interest. As an open non-equilibrium quantum system, t…
Phase transition in the Jarzynski estimator of free energy differences
Alberto Suárez, Robert Silbey, Irwin Oppenheim
The transition between a regime in which thermodynamic relations apply only to ensembles of small systems coupled to a large environment and a regime in which they can be used to c…
Diffusion of Tagged Particle in an Exclusion Process
E. Barkai, R. Silbey
We study the diffusion of tagged hard core interacting particles under the influence of an external force field. Using the Jepsen line we map this many particle problem onto a sing…
The Work-Hamiltonian Connection and the Usefulness of the Jarzynski Equality for Free Energy Calculations
Eric N. Zimanyi, Robert J. Silbey
The connection between work and changes in the Hamiltonian for a system with a time-dependent Hamiltonian has recently been called into question, casting doubt on the usefulness of…
Theory of Single File Diffusion in a Force Field
E. Barkai, R. Silbey
The dynamics of hard-core interacting Brownian particles in an external potential field is studied in one dimension. Using the Jepsen line we find a very general and simple formula…
Single-file dynamics with different diffusion constants
Tobias Ambjornsson, Ludvig Lizana, Michael A. Lomholt +1
We investigate the single-file dynamics of a tagged particle in a system consisting of N hardcore interacting particles (the particles cannot pass each other) which are diffusing i…
A Stochastic Theory of Single Molecule Spectroscopy
YounJoon Jung, Eli Barkai, Robert J. Silbey
A theory is formulated for time dependent fluctuations of the spectrum of a single molecule in a dynamic environment. In particular, we investigate the photon counting statistics o…
Lineshape Theory and Photon Counting Statistics for Spectral Fluctuations in Quantum Dots: a Lévy Walk Process
YounJoon Jung, Eli Barkai, Robert J. Silbey
Recent experimental observations have found two different kinds of ``strange kinetic behaviors" in individual semiconductor nanocrystals (or quantum dots). Fluorescence intermitten…
Nonequilibrium generalization of Förster-Dexter theory for excitation energy transfer
Seogjoo Jang, YounJoon Jung, Robert J. Silbey
Förster-Dexter theory for excitation energy transfer is generalized for the account of short time nonequilibrium kinetics due to the nonstationary bath relaxation. The final rate e…
Photon Counting Statistics for Single Molecule Spectroscopy
Eli Barkai, YounJoon Jung, Robert Silbey
We present a general relation between Mandel's parameter describing variance of number of photons emitted from a single molecule and a three time correlation function describin…
Lévy Distribution of Single Molecule Line Shape Cumulants in Low Temperature Glass
E. Barkai, R. Silbey, G. Zumofen
We investigate the distribution of single molecule line shape cumulants, , in low temperature glasses based on the sudden jump, standard tunneling model. We find that…
Fractional Kramers Equation
E. Barkai, R. Silbey
We introduce a fractional Kramers equation for a particle interacting with a thermal heat bath and external non-linear force field. For the force free case the velocity damping fol…
Nonequilibrium spectral diffusion due to laser heating in stimulated photon echo spectroscopy of low temperature glasses
Peter Neu, Robert J. Silbey, Stephan J. Zilker +1
A quantitative theory is developed, which accounts for heating artifacts in three-pulse photon echo (3PE) experiments. The heat diffusion equation is solved and the average value o…
