Quantum dissipative systems beyond the standard harmonic model: features of linear absorption and dynamics
Luke D. Smith, Arend G. Dijkstra
Current simulations of ultraviolet-visible absorption lineshapes, and dynamics of condensed phase systems, largely adopt a harmonic description to model vibrations. Often, this inv…
Efficient long-distance energy transport in molecular systems through adiabatic passage
Arend G. Dijkstra, Almut Beige
The efficiencies of light-harvesting complexes in biological systems can be much higher than the current efficiencies of artificial solar cells. In this paper, we therefore propose…
Modeling and analyzing a photo-driven molecular motor system: Ratchet dynamics and non-linear optical spectra
Tatsushi Ikeda, Arend G. Dijkstra, Yoshitaka Tanimura
A light-driven molecular motor system is investigated using a multi-state Brownian ratchet model described by a single effective coordinate with multiple electronic states in a dis…
Controlling a Quantum System via its Boundary Conditions
Christian Duffin, Arend G. Dijkstra
We numerically study a particle in a box with moving walls. In the case where the walls are oscillating sinusoidally with small amplitude, we show that states up to the fourth stat…
How two-dimensional brick layer J-aggregates differ from linear ones: excitonic properties and line broadening mechanisms
Arend G. Dijkstra, Hong-Guang Duan, Jasper Knoester +2
We study the excitonic coupling and homogeneous spectral line width of brick layer J-aggregate films. We begin by analysing the structural information revealed by the two-exciton s…
Energy transfer in structured and unstructured environments: master equations beyond the Born-Markov approximations
Jake Iles-Smith, Arend G. Dijkstra, Neill Lambert +1
We explore excitonic energy transfer dynamics in a molecular dimer system coupled to both structured and unstructured oscillator environments. By extending the reaction coordinate…
