Excited state dynamics of azanaphthalenes reveal opportunities for the rational design of photoactive molecules by Malcolm Garrow, Lauren Bertram, Abi Winter, Andrew W. Prentice, Stuart W. Crane, Paul D. Lane, Stuart J. Greaves, Martin J. Paterson, Adam Kirrander, Dave Townsend

“…The overall pattern of behaviour can be explained in terms of potential energy barriers and spin-orbit coupling effects, as demonstrated by extensive quantum chemistry calculations undertaken at the SCS-ADC(2) level of theory. The fact that quantum chemistry calculations can achieve such detailed and nuanced agreement with experimental data across a full set of six molecules exhibiting subtle variations in their composition provides an excellent example of the current state-of-the-art and is indicative of future opportunities for rational design of photoactive molecules.…”

Design of multi-bandgap metamaterial plate based on composite cylindrical resonators by Zhi Miao, Jianfei Yin, Yu Yang, Yibo Ke, Zhoufu Zheng, Xiaoming Geng, Qian Wang

“…For rapid evaluation of the bandgap bounding frequencies, closed-form formulas are derived using wave theory in conjunction with Hamilton's principle. The composite arrangement of local resonators achieves two low-frequency bandgaps, effectively expanding the bandgap region and enhancing the designability of bandgaps compared to traditional locally resonant plate. …”
