Manipulating matter by strong coupling to vacuum fields

Science, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 373(6551)

Опубликована: Июль 9, 2021

Captivating cavities Laser technology is a familiar example of how confining light between two mirrors can tune its properties. Quantum mechanics also dictates that even without extraneous light, matter confined in cavity resonant with electronic or vibrational transitions couple vacuum electromagnetic field fluctuations. Garcia-Vidal et al. review the remarkable and still somewhat mysterious implications this “strong-coupling” regime, manifestations ranging from enhanced charge transport to site-selective chemical reactivity across range molecular solid-state materials.

Polaritonic Chemistry with Organic Molecules

ACS Photonics, Год журнала: 2017, Номер 5(1), С. 205 - 216

Опубликована: Сен. 26, 2017

We present an overview of the general concepts polaritonic chemistry with organic molecules, i.e., manipulation chemical structure that can be achieved through strong coupling between confined light modes and molecules. Strong associated formation polaritons, hybrid light–matter excitations, lead to energy shifts in such systems amount a large fraction uncoupled transition energy. This has recently been shown significantly alter coupled which opens possibility manipulate control reactions. discuss current state theory for describing these changes several applications, particular focus on collective effects observed when many molecules are involved coupling.

Strong light–matter interactions: a new direction within chemistry

Chemical Society Reviews, Год журнала: 2019, Номер 48(3), С. 937 - 961

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2019

It is possible to modify the chemical and physical properties of molecules, not only through modifications but also by coupling molecules strongly light. More intriguingly, strong between light even without presence a photon. The phenomenon that makes this called vacuum fluctuations, which finite zero point energy quantized electromagnetic field inside an optical cavity. light-matter coupling, can be as large 1 eV (100 kJ mol-1), leads formation new hybrid states, polaritons. formed states viewed linear combination (vacuum field) matter (molecules), thus completely changing landscape system. Using interactions have for instance been used change reactivity, charge conductivity, excited state relaxation pathways rates reactions organic molecules. In review brief history given, followed theoretical framework, methods analysis, accomplishments. Finally, personal reflection on future perspectives applications within given.

The use of nanoplasmonics to control light and heat close the thermodynamic limit enables exciting opportunities in field plasmonic catalysis. decay excitations creates highly nonequilibrium distributions hot carriers that can initiate or catalyze reactions through both thermal nonthermal pathways. In this Perspective, we present current understanding catalysis, capturing vibrant debates literature, discuss future avenues exploration overcome critical bottlenecks. Our Perspective spans first-principles theory computation correlated far-from-equilibrium light-matter interactions, synthesis new nanoplasmonic hybrids, steady-state ultrafast spectroscopic probes interactions recognizing key contributions each discipline realizing promise We conclude with our vision for fundamental technological advances plasmon-driven chemical coming years.

Cavity Catalysis by Cooperative Vibrational Strong Coupling of Reactant and Solvent Molecules

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Год журнала: 2019, Номер 58(31), С. 10635 - 10638

Опубликована: Июнь 12, 2019

Here, we report the catalytic effect of vibrational strong coupling (VSC) on solvolysis para-nitrophenyl acetate (PNPA), which increases reaction rate by an order magnitude. This is observed when microfluidic Fabry-Perot cavity in VSC generated tuned to C=O stretching mode both reactant and solvent molecules. Thermodynamic experiments confirm nature system. The change follows exponential relation with respect strength solvent, indicating a cooperative between molecules reactant. Furthermore, study kinetic isotope clearly shows that overlap bands strongly coupled critical for catalysis this reaction. combination effects confirms potential as new frontier chemistry.

Abstract In this article, we review strong light-matter coupling at the interface of materials science, quantum chemistry, and photonics. The control light heat thermodynamic limits enables exciting new opportunities for rapidly converging fields polaritonic chemistry optics atomic scale from a theoretical computational perspective. Our follows remarkable experimental demonstrations that now routinely achieve limit matter. many molecules couple collectively to single-photon mode, whereas, in field nanoplasmonics, can be achieved single-molecule limit. Theoretical approaches address these experiments, however, are more recent come spectrum merging developments electrodynamics alike. We latest highlight common features between two different limits, maintaining focus on tools used analyze classes systems. Finally, present perspective need steps toward merging, formally computationally, most prominent Nobel Prize-winning theories physics chemistry: electronic structure (density functional) theory. case how fully description matter treats electrons, photons, phonons same quantized footing will unravel effects cavity-controlled chemical dynamics, optomechanics, nanophotonics, other use phonons.
