Raman spectroscopy at metal interfaces: A numerical study of the strong coupling regime
Zeyu Zhou, Maxim Sukharev, Abraham Nitzan +1
We investigate how proximity to a metal nanostructure, particularly to a flat mirror or a cavity confined between two mirrors, affects the vibronic structure of Raman scattering si…
Interference Limited Absorption in Dense Molecular Nanolayers Near Reflecting Surfaces
Zeyu Zhou, Maxim Sukharev, Abraham Nitzan +1
We investigate linear resonant absorption by a dense ensemble of molecules confined to a subwavelength layer in two geometries: (i) a free-standing film in homogeneous space and (i…
Rectification of Vibrational Energy Transfer in Driven Chiral Molecules
Jichen Feng, Ethan Abraham, Joseph E. Subotnik +1
We show that the combination of molecular chirality and phase-controlled driving can lead to rectification of vibrational energy transfer. We demonstrate this effect using classica…
Nuclear Angular Momentum Generation in Thermally Driven Chiral Systems
Jichen Feng, Ethan Abraham, Joseph Subotnik +1
The appearance of angular momentum in the nuclear motion of molecular systems lacking inversion symmetry under imposed thermal gradients presents a novel mechanism with potential i…
Chiral Vibrational Modes in Small Molecules
Jichen Feng, Ethan Abraham, Joseph Subotnik +1
The development of quantitative methods for characterizing molecular chirality can provide an important tool for studying chirality induced phenomena in molecular systems. Signific…
Unveiling the Dance of Molecules: Ro-Vibrational Dynamics of Molecules under Intense Illumination at Complex Plasmonic Interfaces
Maxim Sukharev, Joseph E. Subotnik, Abraham Nitzan
Understanding the quantum dynamics of strongly coupled molecule-cavity systems remains a significant challenge in molecular polaritonics. This work develops a comprehensive self-co…
