Real-Time Formulation of Atomistic Electromagnetic Models for Plasmonics
Piero Lafiosca, Luca Nicoli, Silvio Pipolo +3
Investigating nanoplasmonics using time-dependent approaches permits shedding light on the dynamic optical properties of plasmonic structures, which are intrinsically connected wit…
Ultrafast collapse of molecular polaritons in photoswitch-nanoantennas at room temperature
Joel Kuttruff, Marco Romanelli, Esteban Pedrueza-Villalmanzo +8
Molecular polaritons are hybrid light-matter states that emerge when a molecular transition strongly interacts with photons in a resonator. At optical frequencies, this interaction…
Strong coupling with light enhances the photoisomerization quantum yield of azobenzene
Jacop Fregoni, Giovanni Granucci, Maurizio Persico +1
The strong coupling between molecules and photons in resonant cavities offers a new toolbox to manipulate photochemical reactions. While the quenching of photochemical reactions in…
A classical picture of subnanometer junctions: an atomistic Drude approach to nanoplasmonics
Tommaso Giovannini, Marta Rosa, Stefano Corni +1
The description of optical properties of subnanometer junctions is particularly challenging. Purely classical approaches fail, because the quantum nature of electrons needs to be c…
Manipulating azobenzene photoisomerization through strong light-molecule coupling
Jacopo Fregoni, Giovanni Granucci, Emanuele Coccia +2
The formation of hybrid light-molecule states (polaritons) offers a new strategy to manipulate the photochemistry of molecules. To fully exploit its potential, one needs to build a…
Shaping excitons in light-harvesting proteins through nanoplasmonics
Stefano Caprasecca, Stefano Corni, Benedetta Mennucci
Nanoplasmonics has been used to enhance molecular spectroscopic signals, with exquisite spatial resolution down to the sub-molecular scale. By means of a rigorous, state-of-the-art…
