Spin Polarization from Circularly Polarized Light Induced Charge Transfer
Sindhana Pannir-Sivajothi, David T. Limmer
We show how a spin polarization can be generated through the photo-induced electron transfer of an achiral donor-acceptor complex following chiral light excitation. In particular,…
Blackbody radiation and thermal effects on chemical reactions and phase transitions in cavities
Sindhana Pannir-Sivajothi, Joel Yuen-Zhou
An important question in polariton chemistry is whether reacting molecules are in thermal equilibrium with their surroundings. If not, can experimental changes observed in reaction…
Precision Franck-Condon spectroscopy from highly-excited vibrational states
Sindhana Pannir-Sivajothi, Joel Yuen-Zhou
As per the Franck-Condon principle, absorption spectroscopy reveals changes in nuclear geometry in molecules or solids upon electronic excitation. It is often assumed these changes…
Thermodynamic coupling of reactions via few-molecule vibrational polaritons
Arghadip Koner, Matthew Du, Sindhana Pannir-Sivajothi +2
Interaction between light and molecular vibrations leads to hybrid light-matter states called vibrational polaritons. Even though many intriguing phenomena have been predicted for…
Chiral edge waves in a dance-based human topological insulator
Matthew Du, Juan B. Pérez-Sánchez, Jorge A. Campos-Gonzalez-Angulo +10
Topological insulators are insulators in the bulk but feature chiral energy propagation along the boundary. This property is topological in nature and therefore robust to disorder.…
Molecular and solid-state topological polaritons induced by population imbalance
Sindhana Pannir-Sivajothi, Nathaniel P. Stern, Joel Yuen-Zhou
Strong coupling between electronic excitations in materials and photon modes results in the formation of polaritons, which display larger nonlinearities than their photonic counter…
