Polaritons are compositional light-matter quasiparticles that have recently enabled remarkable breakthroughs in quantum and nonlinear optics, as well as in material science. Despite the enormous progress, however, a direct nanometer-scale…
Singlet fission may boost photovoltaic efficiency [by transforming a singlet exciton into two triplet excitons and thereby doubling the number of excited charge carriers. The primary step of singlet fission is the ultrafast creation of the…
Molecular ions can be held in a chain of laser-cooled atomic ions by sympathetic cooling. This system is ideal for performing high-precision molecular spectroscopy with applications in astrochemistry and fundamental physics. Here we show…
We observe natural exceptional points in the excitation spectrum of an exciton-polariton system by optically tuning the light-matter interactions. The observed exceptional points do not require any spatial or polarization degrees of freedom…
We investigate theoretically and numerically the coupling between elastic and localized surface plasmon modes in a system of gold nanocylinders separated from a thin gold film by a dielectric spacer of few nanometers thickness. That system…
X-ray photoelectron spectra provide a wealth of information on the electronic structure. The extraction of molecular details requires adequate theoretical methods, which in case of transition metal complexes has to account for effects due…
Exciton plasmon polaritons have gained increasing interests over recent years due to their versatile properties emerging by the underlying light-matter coupling and making them potential candidates for new photonic applications. We have…

Optical spectroscopy has been the primary tool to study the electronic structure of molecules. However the strict spin selection rule has severely limited its ability to access states of different spin multiplicities. Here we propose a new…
A plasmon is a collective excitation of electrons due to the Coulomb interaction. Both plasmons and single-particle excitations (SPEs) are eigenstates of bulk metallic systems and they are orthogonal to each other. However, in…
