Solvent effects on structure and optical properties of a D- π-A azobenzene dye

Time-dependent hybrid density functional theory in combination with Onsager reaction field model and super-molecular model has been applied to study solvent effects on the geometrical and electronic structures, as well as one/two-photon absorption properties, of 4-（N-（2-hydroxyethyl）-N-methyl）-amino-4＇-nitroazobenzene. It is found that the short-range interaction has a large effect on the electronic structure of the solute molecule, namely, large red-shift of the maximum one-photon absorption is induced by hydrogen bonding. The solute molecule has a large two-photon absorption cross section, which is enhanced by the solvent effect. The computational results are in good agreement with measurements.[第一段]     

Electron-Phonon Interactions on the Optical Kerr Effect in a Quantum Disc

The optical Kerr effect in a quantum disc is investigated with the density-matrix approach, most emphasis is devoted to the electron-phonon interactions on the optical Kerr effect. The numerical results are presented with characteristic parameters of a GaAs quantum disc. It is shown that the optical Kerr effect increases as the disc thickness D decreases. LO-phonons impose greater influence on the optical Kerr effect than SO-phonons. The smaller the disc thickness D, the sharper the peak, and the larger the peak intensity. When the disc thickness is greater than 30, the peak will disappear gradually.     

The theoretical studies on the two-photon absorption properties of symmetric 1,4-bis{2-[4-（2- aryl） phenyl] vinyl }- 2,5-bisdialkoxyb enzenes

On the level of the time-dependent hybrid density functional theory, the one- and two-photon absorption properties of a series of symmetric 4-bis 2-[4-(2-ary12) phenyl]vinyl-2,5-bisdialkoxybenzenes are studied respectively utilizing the analytic response theory and the few-state model methods. The calculated results show that the planarity of the geometrical structure plays a great role in enhancing the linear and nonlinear optical abilities of the molecule. However the effect of the length of the chain linked to the π-centre on the optical property is very little. For the investigated compounds, the A–π–A type charge-transfer molecules display more superior one- and two-photon absorption characteristics than the D–π–D type ones. Furthermore, the two-photon absorption results by use of few-state model are generally consistent with those by analytic response theory, demonstrating the reliability of the few-state model for evaluating the two-photon absorption cross section. The numerical simulations are in good agreement in tendency with the available experimental measurements.     

First-principles study on the optical properties for CsI crystal with a pair of VCs^1- - V1 ^1＋

The electronic structures and optical properties of both the perfect CsI crystal and the crystal containing a pair of VCs^1- -V1^1＋ are calculated using CASTEP code with the lattice structure optimized. The calculated results indicate that the optical symmetry of the CsI crystal coincides with the lattice structure geometry Vcs^1- - V1^1＋ of the CsI crystal. The absorption spectrum of the CsI crystal containing a pair of Vcs^1- - V1^1＋ also does not occur in the visible and near-ultraviolet range. It reveals that the existence of the pair of Vcs^1- - V1^1＋ in CsI crystal has no visible effects on the optical properties of the CsI crystal.     

Effects of N-doping concentration on the electronic structure and optical properties of N-doped β-Ga2O3

The electronic structures and the optical properties of N-doped β-Ga2O3 with different N-doping concentrations are studied using the first-principles method.We find that the N substituting O（1） atom is the most stable structure for the smallest formation energy.After N-doping,the charge density distribution significantly changes,and the acceptor impurity level is introduced above the valence band and intersects with the Fermi level.The impurity absorption edges appear to shift toward longer wavelengths with an increase in N-doping concentration.The complex refractive index shows metallic characteristics in the N-doped β-Ga2O3.

The aggregation effects on the two-photon absorption properties of para-nitroaniline polymers by hydrogen-bond interactions

This paper has theoretically designed a series of aggregate polymers on the basis of several para-nitroaniline monomers by hydrogen-bond interactions. At the level of time-dependent hybrid density functional theory, it has optimized their geometrical structures and studied their two-photon absorption (TPA) properties by using analytical response theory. The calculated results exhibit that the aggregation effects not only bring out the considerable red shift of the excited energies but also greatly enhance the TPA intensities of the aggregate polymers in comparison with the para-nitroaniline monomer. The aggregate configurations also have an important influence on the TPA abilities of the polymers; the trimer has the largest TPA cross section. The electron transitions between the molecular orbits involving the strong TPA excitations of the trimer are depicted to illuminate the relationship between the intermolecular charge transfer and the TPA property.

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.     

Theoretical studies on the one- and two-photon absorption properties of azulenylporphyrins and azulene-fused porphyrins

The electronic structures, one-photon absorption (OPA) and two-photon absorption (TPA) properties of the azulenylporphyrins and azulene-fused porphyrins have been comparatively studied by using DFT/B3LYP/6-31G(d) and the ZINDO/SDCI method. With the number of azulenyl groups increasing, the OPA wavelengths of all molecules are red-shifted in 400--600~nm and the two-photon absorption cross section is gradually enlarged. The azulene-fused structures facilitate an expanding conjugated area and increasing TPA cross section. The origin of TPA properties of studied compounds is studied with a two-level model. In summary, the azulene-fused porphyrins exhibit strong two-photon absorption.
