Carbyne-the one-dimensional sp-hybridised allotrope of carbon-has long been predicted to exhibit unique properties, yet its synthesis remains elusive. To probe its behaviour, finite sp-carbon chains such as cumulenes and polyynes have been…
Owing to ring-strain, cyclic ketones exhibit complex excited-state dynamics with multiple competing photochemical channels active on the ultrafast timescale. While the excited-state dynamics of cyclobutanone after $\pi^{\ast}\leftarrow n$…
Using parameter values relevant to polyacetylene and its finite polyene analogs, we determine, via exact finite size diagonalization of a 1D Peierls-Hubbard model, the relaxed geometry and optical absorption spectra of several states of…
Search for one dimensional (1D) van der Waals materials has become an urgent need to meet the demand as building blocks for high performance, miniaturized, lightweight device applications. Polyyne, a 1D atomic chain of carbon is the…
Theory predicts peculiar features for excited-state dynamics in one dimension (1D) that are difficult to be observed experimentally. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are an excellent approximation to 1D quantum confinement, due to…
The excitonic luminescence of an isolated polydiacetylene polymer chain in its monomer matrix is studied by micro-photoluminescence. These chains behave as perfect 1D semiconducting wires with the expected 1/$\sqrt{E}$ density of states…
There is an enormous potential in applying conjugated polymers in novel organic opto-electronic devices such as light emitting diodes and solar cells. Although prototypes and first products exist, a comprehensive understanding of the…
Electron-hole (e-h) capture in luminescent conjugated polymers (LCPs) is modeled by the dissipative dynamics of a multilevel electronic system coupled to a phonon bath. Electroinjected e-h pairs are simulated by a mixed quantum state, which…
The two-state molecular orbital model of the one-dimensional phenyl-based semiconductors is applied to poly(p-phenylene vinylene). The energies of the low-lying excited states are calculated using the density matrix renormalization group…
We present a dynamical simulation scheme to model the highly correlated excited state dynamics of linear polyenes. We apply it to investigate the internal conversion processes of carotenoids following their photoexcitation. We use the…
We describe our dynamical simulations of the excited states of the carotenoid, neurosporene, following its photoexcitation into the 'bright' (nominally $1^1B_u^+$) state. We employ the adaptive tDMRG method on the UV model of…
Polyynes are linear sp-carbon chains of finite length consisting in a sequence of alternated single and triple bonds and displaying appealing optical and electronic properties. A simple, low cost and scalable production technique for…
We report the first observation of an optical transition from a ground trion state T to excited trion state T* in (6,5) single-wall carbon nanotubes non-covalently doped with hydrochloric acid. The position of such an excited trion level T*…
The pressure-induced metallic states of light elements attract significant attention, because of potential applications as high-temperature superconductor and high-energy-density material, especially for hydrogen and nitrogen1-10. Several…
The exciton relaxation dynamics of photoexcited electronic states in poly($p$-phenylenevinylene) (PPV) are theoretically investigated within a coarse-grained model, in which both the exciton and nuclear degrees of freedom are treated…
The excitonic luminescence of an isolated polydiacetylene polymer chain in its monomer matrix is studied by micro-photoluminescence. These chains behave as perfect 1D excitonic systems with the expected 1/sqrt{E} density of states between 5…
We investigate strongly asymmetric self-assembled nanostructures with one of dimensions reaching hundreds of nanometers. Close to the nanowire-like type of confinement, such objects are sometimes assigned as one-dimensional in nature. Here,…
Understanding the phenomenon of intense photoluminescence in carbon materials such as hydrogenated graphene, graphene nanoribbons, etc. is at the forefront of investigations. In this study, six different types of hydrogenated graphene (phG)…
We present density matrix renormalisation group calculations of the Pariser- Parr-Pople-Peierls model of linear polyenes within the adiabatic approximation. We calculate the vertical and relaxed transition energies, and relaxed geometries…
In order to reveal the relaxation mechanism of photogenerated charge-transfer excitations in quasi-one-dimensional halogen-bridged diplatinum complexes, we calculate the low-lying adiabatic potential energy surfaces of a one-dimensional…
