Dynamical pathways of N-Heteropolycycles in the Strong Light-Matter Coupling Regime (B08)

• Subject Area: Physical Chemistry of Molecules, Liquids and Interfaces, Biophysical Chemistry
• Term: since 2021
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 281029004

We will explore cavity-modified transport of hybrid exciton-polariton states utilizing the tunability of N-heterosubstituted organic molecules. High-dimensional quantum dynamics simulations will unravel the tunable physicochemical parameters impacting transport efficiency. Here, preliminary work highlights the influence of intra-molecular dynamics on exciton-polariton transport. Additionally, we will investigate chiral light interaction with highly symmetric organic molecules, aiming to understand optically triggered ring-currents and their interaction with local spins at the molecular level. These efforts complement pump-probe experiments on transport conducted by colleagues at the Institute for Physical Chemistry.
