چکیده

We investigate the influence of external laser excitations on the average current through bridged molecules. For the computation of the current, we use a numerically very efficient formalism that is based on the Floquet solutions of the time-dependent molecule Hamiltonian. It is found that the current as a function of the laser frequency exhibits characteristic peaks originating from resonant excitations of electrons to bridge levels that are unoccupied in the absence of radiation. The electric current through the molecule can exhibit a drastic enhancement by several orders of magnitude.

Observing the Transition from Stark-Shifted, Strong-Field Resonance to Nonadiabatic Excitation<xref ref-type="fn" rid="fn800"><sup></sup></xref>

Time-dependent Hartree-Fock simulations for a linear triatomic molecular monocation (CO2) interacting with a 5 fs, 800 nm, strong field laser pulse were performed to explore the excitation mechanisms in a molecular cation. Fourier analysis of the time-dependent residual dipole moment reveal a nonmonotonic behavior in the amplitude of the 5.18 eV feature in the excitation spectra of the molecula...

Control of crystallographic orientation in diamond synthesis through laser resonant vibrational excitation of precursor molecules

Crystallographic orientations determine the optical, electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties of crystals. Control of crystallographic orientations has been studied by changing the growth parameters, including temperature, pressure, proportion of precursors, and surface conditions. However, molecular dynamic mechanisms underlying these controls remain largely unknown. Here we achieved con...

Influence of resonant and non-resonant vibrational excitation of ammonia molecules in gallium nitride synthesis

Attempts on the selective promotion of gallium nitride (GaN) growth were investigated by deploying laserassisted vibrational excitation of reactant molecules, which deposits energy selectively into specific molecules and activate the molecules towards the selected reaction pathways. Laser-assisted metal organic chemical vapor deposition (LMOCVD) of GaN was studied using a wavelength-tunable CO2...

Enhancement of pump efficiency of a visible wavelength organic distributed feedback laser by resonant optical pumping.

A 22× reduction in laser pump threshold and a 23× enhancement in energy conversion have been demonstrated on a second order distributed feedback (DFB) laser using a resonant optical pumping (ROP) technique. The ROP scheme couples the excitation light into a distinct resonant mode of the laser cavity through the illuminating at a specific resonant incident angle. Coupling excitation light into t...
