In the past few decades, quantum mechanical (QM) modelling has moved from isolated
molecules made of few atoms to large supramolecular aggregates embedded in complex …

The function of light-harvesting complexes is determined by a complex network of dynamic
interactions among all the different components: the aggregate of pigments, the protein, and …

The photosynthetic apparatus of higher plants can dissipate excess excitation energy during
high light exposure, by deactivating excited chlorophylls through a mechanism called …

The antenna complexes of Photosystem I present low-lying states visible as red-shifted and
broadened absorption and fluorescence bands. Among these, Lhca4 has the most evident …

Multichromophoric biosystems represent a broad family with very diverse members, ranging
from light-harvesting pigment–protein complexes to nucleic acids. The former are designed …

Light-driven phenomena in organic molecular aggregates underpin several mechanisms
relevant to optoelectronic applications. Modeling these processes is essential for aiding the …

Experimental and theoretical foundations for femtosecond time-resolved circular dichroism
(TRCD) spectroscopy of excitonic systems are presented. In this method, the system is …

Exciton charge separation in photosynthetic reaction centers from purple bacteria (PbRC)
and photosystem II (PSII) occurs exclusively along one of the two pseudo-symmetric …

The multidisciplinary nature of the research in molecular nanoplasmonics, ie, the use of
plasmonic nanostructures to enhance, control, or suppress properties of molecules …

The theoretical understanding of photoinduced processes in multichromophoric systems
