(I) Dendrimers
(II) Self-assembled monolayers
(III) Excitons in polymeric muscles
1. Molecular dynamics and solvation of dendrimers:
2. Electron transfer in dendrimers
3. Electron dynamics algorithms for dendrimers
4. Simulating electron transport through dendrimer wires
Electron transmission through classically simulated thin films is calculated using a Green's function method with absorbing boundary conditions.
We are now focusing on the study of transport through molecular arrays
Exciton dynamics in the disordered system is simulated using the Redfield equations.
Generalized Langevin equations and molecular dynamics are used to study the large-scale rearrangements in different solvents.
