Predicting the optical properties of organometallic nanoparticles with a scale-bridging method: The importance of the embedding
Mariia Poleva, Benedikt Zerulla, Christof Holzer +7
It remains a prime question of how to describe the optical properties of large molecular clusters accurately. Quantum chemical methods capture essential electronic details but are…
Analyzing the acceleration time and reflectance of light sails made from homogeneous and core-shell spheres
Mitchell R. Whittam, Lukas Rebholz, Benedikt Zerulla +1
Deciding on appropriate materials and designs for use in light sails, like the one proposed in the Breakthrough Starshot Initiative, is a topic that requires much care and forethou…
A Tensor Product Space for Studying the Interaction of Bipartite States of Light with Nanostructures
Lukas Freter, Benedikt Zerulla, Marjan Krstić +3
Pairs of entangled photons are important for applications in quantum nanophotonics, where their theoretical description must accommodate their bipartite character. Such character i…
Polarization-dependent effects in vibrational absorption spectra of 2D finite-size adsorbate islands on dielectric substrates
Benedikt Zerulla, Marjan Krstić, Shuang Chen +9
In the last years, Infrared Reflection-Absorption Spectroscopy (IRRAS) became a standard technique to study vibrational excitations of molecules. These investigations are strongly…
Separating the Material and Geometry Contribution to the Circular Dichroism of Chiral Objects Made from Chiral Media
Lukas Rebholz, Marjan Krstić, Benedikt Zerulla +4
The chirality of an object can be studied by measuring the circular dichroism, that is, the difference in absorption of light with different helicity. The chiral optical response o…
Surface Second Harmonic Generation in Centrosymmetric Molecular Crystalline Materials: How Thick is the Surface?
Benedikt Zerulla, Alejandro Luna Díaz, Christof Holzer +3
Second harmonic generation (SHG) is forbidden in centrosymmetric molecular materials. However, a signal is frequently observed from interfaces where the symmetry is broken. Whereas…
A Multi-Scale Approach to Simulate the Nonlinear Optical Response of Molecular Nanomaterials
Benedikt Zerulla, Dominik Beutel, Christof Holzer +3
Nonlinear optics is essential for many recent photonic technologies. Here, we introduce a novel multi-scale approach to simulate the nonlinear optical response of molecular nanomat…
A T-matrix Based Approach to Homogenize Artificial Materials
Benedikt Zerulla, Ramakrishna Venkitakrishnan, Dominik Beutel +4
The accurate and efficient computation of the electromagnetic response of objects made from artificial materials is crucial for designing photonic functionalities and interpreting…
