The way in which energy is transported through an interacting system governs fundamental properties in nature such as thermal and electric conductivity or phase changes …
Quantum mechanics provides the most accurate microscopic description of the world around us, yet the interface between quantum mechanics and biology is only now being explored …
FH Alharbi, S Kais - Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2015 - Elsevier
In this review, we present and discussed the main trends in photovoltaics (PV) with emphasize on the conversion efficiency limits. The theoretical limits of various photovoltaics …
Obtaining the exciton dynamics of large photosynthetic complexes by using mixed quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) is computationally demanding. We propose a …
