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…
Solid-State Effects on the Optical Excitation of Push-Pull Molecular J-Aggregates by First-Principles Simulations
Michele Guerrini, Arrigo Calzolari, Stefano Corni
J-aggregates are a class of low-dimensional molecular crystals which display enhanced interaction with light. These systems show interesting optical properties as an intense and na…
Citrate stabilized gold nanoparticles interfere with amyloid fibril formation: D76N and ΔN6 \b{eta}2-microglobulin variants
Giorgia Brancolini, Maria Celeste Maschio, Cristina Cantarutti +5
Protein aggregation including the formation of dimers and multimers in solution, underlies an array of human diseases such as systemic amyloidosis which is a fatal disease caused b…
Probing quantum coherence in ultrafast molecular processes: an ab initio approach to open quantum systems
Emanuele Coccia, Filippo Troiani, Stefano Corni
Revealing possible long-living coherence in ultrafast processes allows detecting genuine quantum mechanical effects in molecules. To investigate such effects from a quantum chemist…
