Quantitative scattering of melanin solutions
Jennifer Riesz, Joel Gilmore, Paul Meredith
The optical scattering coefficient of a dilute, well solubilised eumelanin solution has been accurately measured as a function of incident wavelength, and found to contribute less…
Towards Structure-Property-Function Relationships for Eumelanin
Paul Meredith, B. J. Powell, Jennifer Riesz +3
We discuss recent progress towards the establishment of important structure-property-function relationships in eumelanins - key functional bio-macromolecular systems responsible fo…
A Quantum Yield Map for Synthetic Eumelanin
Stephen Nighswander-Rempel, Jennifer Riesz, Joel Gilmore +1
The quantum yield of synthetic eumelanin is known to be extremely low and it has recently been reported to be dependent on excitation wavelength. In this paper, we present quantum…
Quantitative Fluorescence Excitation Spectra for Synthetic Eumelanin
Stephen Nighswander-Rempel, Jennifer Riesz, Joel Gilmore +2
Previously reported excitation spectra for eumelanin are sparse and inconsistent. Moreover, these studies have failed to account for probe beam attenuation and emission reabsorptio…
Quantitative photoluminescence of broad band absorbing melanins: A procedure to correct for inner filter and re-absorption effects
Jennifer Riesz, Joel Gilmore, Paul Meredith
We report methods for correcting the photoluminescence emission and excitation spectra of highly absorbing samples for re-absorption and inner filter effects. We derive the general…
Broad Band Photon Harvesting Biomolecules for Photovoltaics
P. Meredith, B. J. Powell, J. Riesz +5
We discuss the key principles of artificial photosynthesis for photovoltaic energy conversion. We demonstrate these principles by examining the operation of the so-called "dye sens…
