Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to designing dyes and methods to alter the parameters controlling the dipole-dipole coupling of dyes bound to a nucleotide oligomer architecture, which are used to propagate excitons for use in next generation room temperature quantum information systems. The disclosed dyes and methods are directed to changing the dye stability, symmetry, overlap, and steric hindrance of the dyes to fine tune aggregate systems.
Claims18
A method of engineering a permanent dipole coupling between dyes, described by the parameter K, comprising:
- coupling two or more of the dyes to form one or more dye aggregates;
- tuning an orientation between the two or more dyes within the one or more dye aggregates by controlling a charge transfer of the two or more of the dyes.
