Long-range energy transfer in proteins.
Proteins are large and complex molecular machines. In order to perform their function, most of them need energy, e.g. either in the form of a photon, as in the case of the visual pigment rhodopsin, or through the breaking of a chemical bond, as in the presence of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Such energy, in turn, has to be transmitted to specific locations, often several tens of A away from wh...
متن کامل8.4% efficient fullerene-free organic solar cells exploiting long-range exciton energy transfer.
In order to increase the power conversion efficiency of organic solar cells, their absorption spectrum should be broadened while maintaining efficient exciton harvesting. This requires the use of multiple complementary absorbers, usually incorporated in tandem cells or in cascaded exciton-dissociating heterojunctions. Here we present a simple three-layer architecture comprising two non-fulleren...
متن کاملLong-Range Resonant Energy Transfer for Enhanced Exciton Harvesting for Organic Solar Cells
Exciton harvesting is of fundamental importance for the efficient operation of organic photovoltaic devices. The quantum efficiencies of many organic and hybrid organic-inorganic devices are still limited by low exciton harvesting efficiencies. This problem is most apparent in planar heterostructures that suffer from a direct tradeoff between light absorption and exciton harvesting. The bulk he...
متن کاملLong-Range Transport of Organic Exciton-Polaritons Revealed by Ultrafast Microscopy
The excitations in organic materials are often described by Frenkel excitons, whose wave functions are tightly localized on the individual molecules, which results in short-range, nanoscale transport. However, under strong light-molecule coupling, new quantum states, known as cavity polaritons, are formed and the wave functions describing the coupled system extend over distances much larger tha...
متن کاملLong-Range Plasmon-Assisted Energy Transfer between Fluorescent Emitters.
We demonstrate plasmon-assisted energy transfer between fluorophores located at distances up to 7 μm on the top of a thin silver film. Thanks to the strong confinement and large propagation length of surface plasmon polaritons, the range of the energy transfer is almost 2 orders of magnitude larger than the values reported in the literature so far. The parameters driving the energy transfer ra...
