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…
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…
Understanding the Energy Gap Law under Vibrational Strong Coupling
Yong Rui Poh, Sindhana Pannir-Sivajothi, Joel Yuen-Zhou
The rate of non-radiative decay between two molecular electronic states is succinctly described by the energy gap law, which suggests an approximately-exponential dependence of the…
Driving chemical reactions with polariton condensates
Sindhana Pannir-Sivajothi, Jorge A. Campos-Gonzalez-Angulo, Luis A. Martínez-Martínez +2
When molecular transitions strongly couple to photon modes, they form hybrid light-matter modes called polaritons. Collective vibrational strong coupling is a promising avenue for…
