Recurrence spectra of non—hydrogen Rydberg atoms in paralled electric and magnetic fields

We present a new method for computing the recurrence spectra of n≈40, m=0 lithium Rydberg atoms in strong parallel external electric and magnetic fields. This method is based on an extended closed-orbit theory allowing the computation of the scattering of the electron by the ionic core. We pay particular attention to the scaling properties, which are extremely important for understanding the correspondence between classical and quantum mechanics. The spectra with a constant scaled electric field \tilde F=0.01 and a scaled energy ε=-0.03 are recorded and compared with those of hydrogen obtained by the standard closed-orbit theory. The result shows that the additional strong resonance structures can be interpreted in terms of the core-scattered classical closed orbits.     

Computational design of ratiometric two-photon fluorescent Zn2+ probes based on quinoline and di-2-picolylamine moieties

To improve two-photon absorption (TPA) response of a newly synthesized probe, a series of ratiometric two-photon fluorescent Zn²⁺ sensors based on quinoline and DPA moieties have been designed. The one-photon absorption, TPA, and emission properties of the experimental and designed probes before and after coordination with Zn²⁺ are investigated employing the density functional theory in combination with response functions. The design consists of two levels. In the first level of design, five probes are constructed through using several electron acceptors or donors to increase accepting or donating ability of the fluorophores. It shows that all the designed probes have stronger TPA intensities at longer wavelengths with respect to the experimental probe because of the increased intra-molecular charge transfer. Moreover, it is found that the probe 4 built by adding an acyl unit has the largest TPA cross section among the designed structures due to the form of longer conjugated length and more linear backbone. One dimethylamino terminal attached along the skeleton can improve TPA intensity more efficiently than two side amino groups. Therefore, in the second level of design, a new probe 7 is formed by both an acyl unit and a dimethylamino terminal. It exhibits that the TPA cross sections of probe 7 and its zinc complex increase dramatically. Furthermore, the fluorescence quantum yields of the designed probes 4 and 7 are calculated in a new way, which makes use of the relation between the computed difference of dipole moment and the measured fluorescence quantum yield. The result shows that our design also improves the fluorescence quantum yield considerably. All in all, the designed probes 4 and 7 not only possess enhanced TPA intensities but also have large differences of emission wavelength upon Zn²⁺ coordination and strong fluorescence intensity, which demonstrates that they are potential ratiometric two-photon fluorescent probes.     

Influence of rotational isomerism on two-photon absorption properties of FTC chromophores

The influence of rotational isomerism on the two-photon absorption(TPA) of FTC chromophores has been investigated using the quadratic response theory with the B3LYP functional.Eight rotamers induced by three rotatable single bonds in the molecule are fully optimized,and it is found that their conformational energies are nearly degenerate.Our calculations demonstrate that rotational isomerism has an important effect on the TPA cross sections.For a certain rotamer,the maximum TPA cross section is enhanced significantly.In addition,in the longer wavelength region,the rotational isomerism could lead to a large shift of the TPA position.

Solvent effects on optical properties of a newly synthesized two-photon polymerization initiator： BPYPA

Time-dependent hybrid density functional theory in combination with polarized continuum model is applied to study the solvent effects on the geometrical and electronic structures as well as one- and two-photon absorption processes, of a newly synthesized asymmetrical charge-transfer organic molecule bis-（4-bromo-phenyl）-[4-（2-pyridin-4-yl-vinyl）phenyl]-amine （BPYPA）. There exist two charge-transfer states for the compound in visible region. The two-photon absorption cross section calculated by a three-state model and solvatochromic shift of the charge-transfer states are found to be solvent-dependent, where a nonmonotonic behaviour with respect to the polarity of the solvents is observed. The numerical results show that the organic molecule exhibits a rather large two-photon absorption cross section as compared with the compound 4-trans-[p-（N, N-Di-n-butylamino）-p-stilbenyl vinyl] pyridine （DBASVP） reported previously, and is predicted to be a good two-photon polymerization initiator. The hydrogen-bond effect is analysed. The computational results are in good agreement with the measurements.
