Dye stabilization and wavelength tunability in lasing fibers based on DNA
Luana Persano, Adam Szukalski, Michele Gaio +8
Lasers based on biological materials are attracting an increasing interest in view of their use in integrated and transient photonics. DNA as optical biopolymer in combination with…
Shaping excitons in light-harvesting proteins through nanoplasmonics
Stefano Caprasecca, Stefano Corni, Benedetta Mennucci
Nanoplasmonics has been used to enhance molecular spectroscopic signals, with exquisite spatial resolution down to the sub-molecular scale. By means of a rigorous, state-of-the-art…
Delocalized excitons in natural light harvesting complexes
Seogjoo J. Jang, Benedetta Mennucci
Natural organisms such as photosynthetic bacteria, algae, and plants employ complex molecular machinery to convert solar energy into biochemical fuel. An important common feature s…
Exciton transport in the PE545 complex: insight from atomistic QM/MM-based quantum master equations and elastic network models
Sima Pouyandeh, Stefano Iubini, Sandro Jurinovich +3
In this paper we work out a parameterization of the environment noise within the Haken-Strobl-Reinenker (HSR) model for the PE545 light-harvesting complex based on atomic-level qua…
Excited state characterization of carbonyl containing carotenoids: a comparison between single and multireference descriptions
Riccardo Spezia, Stefan Knecht, Benedetta Mennucci
Carotenoids can play multiple roles in biological photoreceptors thanks to their rich photophysics. In the present work, we have investigated six of the most common carbonyl contai…
