Cooperative Chemical Reactions in Optical Cavities: A Complex Interplay of Mode Hybridization, Timescale Balance, and Pathway Interference
Yaling Ke
Harnessing strong light-matter interactions to control chemical reactions in confined electromagnetic fields offers a promising route toward deepening our understanding of chemical…
Probing voltage-induced chemical reactions and anharmonicity with a confined vacuum light field
Yaling Ke
In this work, we present a proof-of-concept investigation of non-equilibrium chemical reaction dynamics at a molecule-electrode interface, driven out of equilibrium by an applied v…
Harnessing multi-mode optical structure for chemical reactivity
Yaling Ke, Jakob Assan
The prospect of controlling chemical reactivity using frequency-tunable optical microcavities has materialized over the past decade, evolving into a fascinating yet challenging new…
Non-equilibrium origin of cavity-induced resonant modifications of chemical reactivities
Yaling Ke
In this work, we investigate the influence of light-matter coupling on reaction dynamics and equilibrium properties of a single molecule inside an optical cavity. The reactive mole…
Stochastic resonance in vibrational polariton chemistry
Yaling Ke
In this work, we systematically investigate the impact of ambient noise intensity on the rate modifications of ground-state chemical reactions in an optical cavity under vibrationa…
Nonadiabatic Quantum Dynamics of Molecules Scattering from Metal Surfaces
Riley J. Preston, Yaling Ke, Samuel L. Rudge +4
Nonadiabatic coupling between electrons and molecular motion at metal surfaces leads to energy dissipation and dynamical steering effects during chemical surface dynamics. We prese…
