Electron Transfer under the Floquet Modulation in Donor–Bridge–Acceptor Systems

Electron transfer (ET) processes are of broad interest in modern chemistry. With the advancements of experimental techniques, one may modulate the ET via such events as light–matter interactions.

Description
Summary:Electron transfer (ET) processes are of broad interest in modern chemistry. With the advancements of experimental techniques, one may modulate the ET via such events as light–matter interactions. In this work, we study the ET under a Floquet modulation occurring in the donor–bridge–acceptor systems, with the rate kernels projected out from the exact dissipaton equation of motion formalism. This together with the Floquet theorem enables us to investigate the interplay between the intrinsic non-Markovianity and the driving periodicity. The observed rate kernel exhibits a Herzberg–Teller-like mechanism induced by the bridge fluctuation subject to effective modulation.
