Selective excitation of molecular vibrations via a two-mode cavity Raman scheme
Lucas Borges, Thomas Schnappinger, Markus Kowalewski
The experimental realization of strong light-matter coupling with molecules initiated the rapidly evolving field of molecular polaritonics. Most studies focus on how exciton polari…
The role of dark polariton states for electronic strong coupling in molecules
Lucas Borges, Thomas Schnappinger, Markus Kowalewski
Polaritonic chemistry investigates the possible modification of chemical and photochemical reactions by means of strong light-matter coupling in optical cavities, as demonstrated i…
Molecular Polarizability under Vibrational Strong Coupling
Thomas Schnappinger, Markus Kowalewski
Polaritonic chemistry offers the possibility of modifying molecular properties and even influencing chemical reactivity through strong coupling between vibrational transitions and…
Enhanced photoisomerization with hybrid metallodielectric cavities based on mode interference
Anael Ben-Asher, Thomas Schnappinger, Markus Kowalewski +1
The ability to control chemical reactions by coupling organic molecules to confined light in a cavity has recently attracted much attention. While most previous studies have focuse…
Simulating Nonadiabatic Dynamics in Benzophenone: Tracing Internal Conversion Through Photoelectron Spectra
Lorenzo Restaino, Thomas Schnappinger, Markus Kowalewski
Benzophenone serves as a prototype chromophore for studying the photochemistry of aromatic ketones, with applications ranging from biochemistry to organic light-emitting diodes. In…
Analytic Model Reveals Local Molecular Polarizability Changes Induced by Collective Strong Coupling in Optical Cavities
Jacob Horak, Dominik Sidler, Thomas Schnappinger +3
Despite recent numerical evidence, one of the fundamental theoretical mysteries of polaritonic chemistry is how and if collective strong coupling can induce local changes of the el…
