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 …

Understanding the rules of life is one of the most important scientific endeavours and has
revolutionised both biology and biotechnology. Remarkable advances in observation …

Solar fuel production often starts with the energy from light being absorbed by an assembly
of molecules; this electronic excitation is subsequently transferred to a suitable acceptor. For …

The design of optimal light-harvesting (supra) molecular systems and materials is one of the
most challenging frontiers of science. Theoretical methods and computational models play a …

Figures showing species and properties relevant to non-photochemical quenching
studies.(a) Filamentous planktonic cyanobacteria Dolichospermum crassum and D. flos …

We propose an extension to the Davydov D 2 Ansatz in the dynamics study of the Holstein
molecular crystal model with diagonal and off-diagonal exciton-phonon coupling using the …

Photosynthetic units perform energy transfer remarkably well under a diverse range of
demanding conditions. However, the mechanism of energy transfer, from excitation to …

Photosynthetic organisms use networks of chromophores to absorb and deliver solar energy
to reaction centers. We present a detailed model of the light-harvesting complexes in purple …

Excited state dynamics in LH2 complexes of two purple bacterial species were studied by
broad-band two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy. The optical response was measured …

The correlations between different quantum-mechanical degrees of freedom of molecular
species dictate their chemical and physical properties. Generally, these correlations are …
