Abstract

We consider population transfer in open quantum systems, which are described by quantum dynamical semigroups (QDS). Using second order perturbation theory of the Lindblad equation, we show that it depends on a weak external field only through the field's autocorrelation function, which is phase independent. Therefore, for leading order in perturbation, QDS cannot support dependence of the population transfer on the phase properties of weak fields. We examine an example of weak-field phase-dependent population transfer, and show that the phase-dependence comes from the next order in the perturbation.

Local control theory in trajectory-based nonadiabatic dynamics

Journal Article Curchod, Basile; Penfold, Thomas; Rothlisberger, Ursula; ... - Physical Review. A

In this paper, we extend the implementation of nonadiabatic molecular dynamics within the framework of time-dependent density-functional theory in an external field described in Tavernelli et al.[Phys. Rev. A 81, 052508 (2010)] by calculating on-the-fly pulses to control the population transfer between electronic states using local control theory. Using Tully's fewest switches trajectory surface hopping method, we perform MD to control the photoexcitation of LiF and compare the results to quantum dynamics (QD) calculations performed within the Heidelberg multiconfiguration time-dependent Hartree package. We show that this approach is able to calculate a field that controls the population transfer between electronicmore »« less

Atomistic Time-Domain Simulations of Light-Harvesting and Charge-Transfer Dynamics in Novel Nanoscale Materials for Solar Hydrogen Production.

Other Prezhdo, Oleg

Funded by the DOE grant (i) we continued to study and analyze the atomistic detail of the electron transfer (ET) across the chromophore-TiO2 interface in Gratzel cell systems for solar hydrogen production. (ii) We extensively investigated the nature of photoexcited states and excited state dynamics in semiconductor quantum dots (QD) designed for photovoltaic applications. (iii) We continued a newly initiated research direction focusing on excited state properties and electron-phonon interactions in nanoscale carbon materials. Over the past year, the results of the DOE funded research were summarized in 3 review articles. 12 original manuscripts were written. The research results weremore »« less

Indium Growth and Island Height Control on Si Submonolayer Phases

Thesis/Dissertation Chen, Jizhou

Nanotechnology refers any technique that involves about object with nanoscale (10^-9 m) or even smaller. It has become more and more important in recently years and has changed our world dramatically. Most of modern electronic devices today should thanks to the miniaturizing driven by development of nanotechnology. Recent years, more and more governments are investing huge amount of money in research related to nanotechnology. There are two major reasons that nanostructure is so fascinate. The first one is the miniaturizing. It is obvious that if we can make products smaller without losing the features, we can save the cost andmore »« less

Non-Markovian coherence dynamics of a driven spin-boson model: Damped quantum-beat or large-amplitude coherence oscillation

Journal Article Xiufeng, Cao; Hang, Zheng - Physical Review. A

The dynamics of a driven spin-boson model is studied by means of the perturbation approach based on a unitary transformation. Analytical expressions for the population difference and the coherence of the two state system are obtained. The results show that for weak driving, the population difference displays damping coherent oscillation and/or damping quantum beat, depending on the initial preparation. The coherence exhibits damped oscillation with Rabi frequency. When driving is strong enough, the population difference exhibits undamped large-amplitude coherent oscillation. In addition, our theory leads to correct results in two limiting cases: without dissipation and without driving field.

Phase-only shaped laser pulses in optimal control theory: Application to indirect photofragmentation dynamics in the weak-field limit

Journal Article Shu, Chuan-Cun; Henriksen, Niels - Journal of Chemical Physics

We implement phase-only shaped laser pulses within quantum optimal control theory for laser-molecule interaction. This approach is applied to the indirect photofragmentation dynamics of NaI in the weak-field limit. It is shown that optimized phase-modulated pulses with a fixed frequency distribution can substantially modify transient dissociation probabilities as well as the momentum distribution associated with the relative motion of Na and I.
