The process of photosynthesis is initiated by the capture of sunlight by a network of light-
absorbing molecules (chromophores), which are also responsible for the subsequent …

Natural organisms such as photosynthetic bacteria, algae, and plants employ complex
molecular machinery to convert solar energy into biochemical fuel. An important common …

Excitons are considered as the basic concept used by describing the spectral properties of
photosynthetic pigment-protein complexes and excitation dynamics in photosynthetic light …

Femtosecond visible and infrared analogues of multiple-pulse nuclear magnetic resonance
techniques provide novel snapshot probes into the structure and electronic and vibrational …

Great progress in the study of structure and dynamics of photosynthetic light-harvesting
pigment− protein complexes has recently resulted in detailed understanding of the light …

The influence of exciton–vibrational coupling on the optical and transport properties of
molecular aggregates is an old problem that gained renewed interest in recent years. On the …

2 1 Introduction the most salient points are just that a molecule can exist in a variety of states
depending on how its electrons are distributed among a set of molecular orbitals, and that …

We overview experimental and theoretical studies of energy transfer in the photosynthetic
light-harvesting complexes LH1, LH2, and LHCII performed during the past decade since …

The rate of energy transfer from B800 to B850 in the peripheral light harvesting complex LH2
is modeled in detail. A method for determining ensemble average energy transfer rates in …

A theory for four-wave-mixing signals from molecular aggregates, which includes effects of
two-exciton states, static disorder, and coupling to a phonon bath with an arbitrary spectral …
