Mode-Selective and Anharmonicity-Controlled Energy Transport in Cavity-Coupled Water

Sachith Wickramasinghe, Michael Fowler, Gerrit Groenhof +1

Recent experiments demonstrate the modification of chemical dynamics via cavity-enhanced vibrational energy transport. Here, we provide a microscopic account of both photonic and m…

Cavity-modified exciton-exciton annihilation in disordered molecular systems

I. Sokolovskii, B. S. Humphries, J. Blumberger +1

Recent experiments have shown contradictory effects of strong light-matter coupling on exciton-exciton annihilation (EEA) in organic molecular systems. In this work, we perform num…

Toward Reliable Spectroscopic Analysis of Reaction Kinetics in Polaritonic Chemistry

Robrecht M. A. Vergauwe, J. Jussi Toppari, Gerrit Groenhof

Recent reports suggest that chemical reaction rates can change when reactants are placed inside an optical cavity. These effects have been attributed to the hybridization of molecu…

Benchmarking mixed quantum-classical dynamics for collective electronic strong coupling

Arun Kumar Kanakati, Oriol Vendrell, Gerrit Groenhof

Experiments indicate that collective coupling of molecular ensembles to confined optical modes can modify excited-state dynamics and photochemical reactivity. To describe such cavi…

Incorporating QM/MM molecular dynamics into the few-mode quantization approach for light-matter interactions in nanophotonic structures

Ruth H. Tichauer, Maksim Lednev, Gerrit Groenhof +1

In the context of light-matter interactions between organic chromophores and confined photons of (plasmonic) nano-resonators, we introduce a general framework that couples ab initi…

Disentangling enhanced diffusion and ballistic motion of excitons coupled to Bloch surface waves with molecular dynamics simulations

Ilia Sokolovskii, Yunyi Luo, Gerrit Groenhof

Placing an organic material on top of a Bragg mirror can significantly enhance exciton transport. Such enhancement has been attributed to strong coupling between the evanescent Blo…

Enhanced Excitation Energy Transfer under Strong Light-Matter Coupling: Insights from Multi-Scale Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Ilia Sokolovskii, Ruth H. Tichauer, Dmitry Morozov +2

Exciton transport can be enhanced in the strong coupling regime where excitons hybridise with confined light modes to form polaritons. Because polaritons have group velocity, their…

Theory for the stationary polariton response in the presence of vibrations

K. S. U. Kansanen, A. Asikainen, J. J. Toppari +2

We construct a model describing the response of a hybrid system where the electromagnetic field - in particular, surface plasmon polaritons - couples strongly with electronic excit…
