From Förster resonance energy transfer to coherent resonance energy transfer and back

چکیده
Photosynthesis converts solar energy into chemical energy. It provides food and oxygen; and, in the future, it could directly provide bioenergy or renewable energy sources, such as bio-alcohol or hydrogen. To exploit such a highly efficient capture of energy requires an understanding of the fundamental physics. The process is initiated by photon absorption, followed by highly efficient and extremely rapid transfer and trapping of the excitation energy. We first review early fluorescence experiments on in vivo energy transfer, which were undertaken to understand the mechanism of such efficient energy capture. A historical synopsis is given of experiments and interpretations by others that dealt with the question of how energy is transferred from the original location of photon absorption in the photosynthetic antenna system into the reaction centers, where it is converted into useful chemical energy. We conclude by examining the physical basis of some current models concerning the roles of coherent excitons and incoherent hopping in the exceptionally efficient transfer of energy into the reaction center.

Förster Resonance Energy Transfer between Acridinedione and Rhodamine-B
Abstract—The Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) studies between acridinedione dyes as donors and rhodamine dyes as acceptors are explored by spectroscopic techniques like absorption, fluorescence and lifetime measurements. Enhancement of the acceptor photoluminescence intensity and a decrease of the donor decay time are observed in solutions containing acridinedione dye with Rhodamine B (...
متن کاملThe Transient Dynamics of a Beam Mounted on Spring Supports and Equipped with the Nonlinear Energy Sink
The transient dynamics of a beam mounted on springer-damper support and equipped with a nonlinear energy sink (NES) is investigated under the effects of shock loads. The equations of motion are derived using the Hamilton’s principle leading to four hybrid ordinary and partial differential equations and descritized using the Galerkin method. An adaptive Newmark method is employed for accurate an...
