Single Molecule Spectroscopy of Monomeric LHCII: Experiment and Theory
Pavel Malý, J. Michael Gruber, Rienk van Grondelle +1
We derive approximate equations of motion for excited state dynamics of a multilevel open quantum system weakly interacting with light to describe fluorescence detected single mole…
Ultrafast Energy Relaxation in Single Light-Harvesting Complexes
Pavel Malý, J. Michael Gruber, Richard J. Cogdell +2
Energy relaxation in light-harvesting complexes has been extensively studied by various ultrafast spectroscopic techniques, the fastest processes being in the sub-100 fs range. At…
Dynamic Coherence in Excitonic Molecular Complexes under Various Excitation Conditions
Aurélia Chenu, Pavel Malý, Tomáš Mančal
We investigate the relevance of dynamic quantum coherence in the energy transfer efficiency of molecular aggregates. We contrast the dynamics after excitation of a quantum mechanic…
Origin of Long Lived Coherences in Light-Harvesting Complexes
Niklas Christensson, Harald F. Kauffmann, Tonu Pullerits +1
A vibronic exciton model is developed to investigate the origin of long lived coherences in light-harvesting complexes. Using experimentally determined parameters and uncorrelated…
Exciton Dynamics in Photosynthetic Complexes: Excitation by Coherent and Incoherent Light
Tomas Mancal, Leonas Valkunas
In this paper we consider dynamics of a molecular system subjected to external pumping by a light source. Within a completely quantum mechanical treatment, we derive a general form…
