Cooperative Chemical Reactions in Optical Cavities: A Complex Interplay of Mode Hybridization, Timescale Balance, and Pathway Interference
Yaling Ke
Harnessing strong light-matter interactions to control chemical reactions in confined electromagnetic fields offers a promising route toward deepening our understanding of chemical…
Probing voltage-induced chemical reactions and anharmonicity with a confined vacuum light field
Yaling Ke
In this work, we present a proof-of-concept investigation of non-equilibrium chemical reaction dynamics at a molecule-electrode interface, driven out of equilibrium by an applied v…
Harnessing multi-mode optical structure for chemical reactivity
Yaling Ke, Jakob Assan
The prospect of controlling chemical reactivity using frequency-tunable optical microcavities has materialized over the past decade, evolving into a fascinating yet challenging new…
Non-equilibrium origin of cavity-induced resonant modifications of chemical reactivities
Yaling Ke
In this work, we investigate the influence of light-matter coupling on reaction dynamics and equilibrium properties of a single molecule inside an optical cavity. The reactive mole…
Nonadiabatic Quantum Dynamics of Molecules Scattering from Metal Surfaces
Riley J. Preston, Yaling Ke, Samuel L. Rudge +4
Nonadiabatic coupling between electrons and molecular motion at metal surfaces leads to energy dissipation and dynamical steering effects during chemical surface dynamics. We prese…
