Exploring the Delocalization of Dark States in a Multimode Optical Cavity
Kunyang Sun, Matthew Du, Joel Yuen-Zhou
The strong coupling between molecules and photonic modes in a Fabry-Pérot optical cavity, which forms hybrid light-matter states called polaritons, has been demonstrated as a promi…
Active oscillatory associative memory
Matthew Du, Agnish Kumar Behera, Suriyanarayanan Vaikuntanathan
Traditionally, physical models of associative memory assume conditions of equilibrium. Here, we consider a prototypical oscillator model of associative memory and study how active…
Thermodynamic coupling of reactions via few-molecule vibrational polaritons
Arghadip Koner, Matthew Du, Sindhana Pannir-Sivajothi +2
Interaction between light and molecular vibrations leads to hybrid light-matter states called vibrational polaritons. Even though many intriguing phenomena have been predicted for…
Swinging between shine and shadow: Theoretical advances on thermally-activated vibropolaritonic chemistry (a perspective)
Jorge A. Campos-Gonzalez-Angulo, Yong Rui Poh, Matthew Du +1
Polariton chemistry has emerged as an appealing branch of synthetic chemistry that promises mode selectivity and a cleaner approach to kinetic control. Of particular interest are t…
Chiral edge waves in a dance-based human topological insulator
Matthew Du, Juan B. Pérez-Sánchez, Jorge A. Campos-Gonzalez-Angulo +10
Topological insulators are insulators in the bulk but feature chiral energy propagation along the boundary. This property is topological in nature and therefore robust to disorder.…
Vibropolaritonic Reaction Rates in the Collective Strong Coupling Regime: Pollak-Grabert-Hänggi Theory
Matthew Du, Yong Rui Poh, Joel Yuen-Zhou
Following experimental evidence that vibrational polaritons, formed from collective vibrational strong coupling (VSC) in optical microcavities, can modify ground-state reaction rat…
Catalysis by Dark States in Vibropolaritonic Chemistry
Matthew Du, Joel Yuen-Zhou
Collective strong coupling between a disordered ensemble of localized molecular vibrations and a resonant optical cavity mode gives rise to 2 polariton and dark modes…
Nonequilibrium effects of cavity leakage and vibrational dissipation in thermally-activated polariton chemistry
Matthew Du, Jorge A. Campos-Gonzalez-Angulo, Joel Yuen-Zhou
In vibrational strong coupling (VSC), molecular vibrations strongly interact with the modes of an optical cavity to form hybrid light-matter states known as vibrational polaritons.…
Ultrafast long-range energy transport via light-matter coupling in organic semiconductor films
Raj Pandya, Richard Y. S. Chen, Qifei Gu +29
The formation of exciton-polaritons allows the transport of energy over hundreds of nanometres at velocities up to 10^6 m s^-1 in organic semiconductors films in the absence of ext…
Remote control of chemistry in optical cavities
Matthew Du, Raphael F. Ribeiro, Joel Yuen-Zhou
Manipulation of chemical reactivity often involves changing reagents or environmental conditions. Alternatively, strong coupling between light and matter offers a way to tunably hy…
Polariton Chemistry: controlling molecular dynamics with optical cavities
Raphael F. Ribeiro, Luis A. Martínez-Martínez, Matthew Du +2
Molecular polaritons are the optical excitations which emerge when molecular transitions interact strongly with confined electromagnetic fields. Increasing interest in the hybrid m…
Theory for polariton-assisted remote energy transfer
Matthew Du, Luis A. Martínez-Martínez, Raphael F. Ribeiro +3
Strong-coupling between light and matter produces hybridized states (polaritons) whose delocalization and electromagnetic character allow for novel modifications in spectroscopy an…
Polariton-assisted Singlet Fission in Acene Aggregates
Luis A. Martínez-Martínez, Matthew Du, Raphael F. Ribeiro +2
Singlet fission is an important candidate to increase energy conversion efficiency in organic photovoltaics by providing a pathway to increase the quantum yield of excitons per pho…
