Watching energy transfer in metalloporphyrin heterodimers using stimulated X-ray Raman spectroscopy

Abstract

Understanding the excitation energy transfer mechanism in multiporphyrin arrays is key for designing artificial light-harvesting devices and other molecular electronics applications. Simulations of the stimulated X-ray Raman spectroscopy signals of a Zn/Ni porphyrin heterodimer induced by attosecond X-ray pulses show that these signals can directly reveal electron-hole pair motions. These dynamics are visualized by a natural orbital decomposition of the valence electron wavepackets.
