Abstract

Chemistry Chemistry, Multidisciplinary Physical Sciences Science & Technology
Numerical solution of the time-dependent Schrodinger equation is combined with a statistical procedure for analyzing the time-dependent probability density to look for signatures of quantum phase interference in charge transfer across two donor-bridge-acceptor molecules. The results show a strong dependence of transfer time on relative phase in an initially localized state. Additionally, the transfer time shows a stronger dependence on molecular symmetry for asymmetric initial localizations than symmetric initial localizations. Statistical analysis of the time-evolution of the flow of probability density for initially localized non-stationary wavefunctions reveals a significant dependence of transit time on the phase difference between limbs of the wavefunction.
