Guest-responsive polaritons in a porous framework: chromophoric sponges in optical QED cavities.

ABSTRACT: Introducing porous material into optical cavities is a critical step toward the utilization of quantum-electrodynamical (QED) effects for advanced technologies, e.g. in the context of sensing. We demonstrate that crystalline, porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are well suited for the fabrication of optical cavities. In going beyond functionalities offered by other materials, they allow for the reversible loading and release of guest species into and out of optical resonators. For an all-metal mirror-based Fabry-Perot cavity we yield strong coupling (∼21% Rabi splitting). This value is remarkably large, considering that the high porosity of the framework reduces the density of optically active moieties relative to the corresponding bulk structure by ∼60%. Such a strong response of a porous chromophoric scaffold could only be realized by employing silicon-phthalocyanine (SiPc) dyes designed to undergo strong J-aggregation when assembled into a MOF. Integration of the SiPc MOF as active component into the optical microcavity was realized by employing a layer-by-layer method. The new functionality opens up the possibility to reversibly and continuously tune QED devices and to use them as optical sensors.

Atoms and molecules in cavities, from weak to strong coupling in quantum-electrodynamics (QED) chemistry.

Project description:In this work, we provide an overview of how well-established concepts in the fields of quantum chemistry and material sciences have to be adapted when the quantum nature of light becomes important in correlated matter-photon problems. We analyze model systems in optical cavities, where the matter-photon interaction is considered from the weak- to the strong-coupling limit and for individual photon modes as well as for the multimode case. We identify fundamental changes in Born-Oppenheimer surfaces, spectroscopic quantities, conical intersections, and efficiency for quantum control. We conclude by applying our recently developed quantum-electrodynamical density-functional theory to spontaneous emission and show how a straightforward approximation accurately describes the correlated electron-photon dynamics. This work paves the way to describe matter-photon interactions from first principles and addresses the emergence of new states of matter in chemistry and material science.

Amides Do Not Always Work: Observation of Guest Binding in an Amide-Functionalized Porous Metal-Organic Framework.

Project description:An amide-functionalized metal organic framework (MOF) material, MFM-136, shows a high CO2 uptake of 12.6 mmol g-1 at 20 bar and 298 K. MFM-136 is the first example of an acylamide pyrimidyl isophthalate MOF without open metal sites and, thus, provides a unique platform to study guest binding, particularly the role of free amides. Neutron diffraction reveals that, surprisingly, there is no direct binding between the adsorbed CO2/CH4 molecules and the pendant amide group in the pore. This observation has been confirmed unambiguously by inelastic neutron spectroscopy. This suggests that introduction of functional groups solely may not necessarily induce specific guest-host binding in porous materials, but it is a combination of pore size, geometry, and functional group that leads to enhanced gas adsorption properties.

Rational Construction of a Responsive Azo-Functionalized Porous Organic Framework for CO2 Sorption.

Project description:An azo-functionalized porous organic framework (denoted as JJU-1) was synthesized via FeCl3-promoted oxidative coupling polymerization. By virtue of a porous skeleton and a light/heat responsive azo functional group, this task-specific JJU-1 displays a reversible stimuli-responsive adsorption property triggered by UV irradiation and heat treatment. The initial Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) surface area of this porous material is 467 m2 g-1. The CO2 sorption isotherms exhibit a slight decrease after UV irradiation because of the trans to cis conversion of the azo functional skeleton. It is worth mentioning that the responsive CO2 adsorption performance can be recycled for three cycles via alternating external stimuli, confirming the excellently reversible switchability of trans-to-cis isomerization and controllable CO2 adsorption.

Optical sensing by transforming chromophoric silver clusters in DNA nanoreactors.

Project description:Bifunctional DNA oligonucleotides serve as templates for chromophoric silver clusters and as recognition sites for target DNA strands, and communication between these two components is the basis of an oligonucleotide sensor. Few-atom silver clusters exhibit distinct electronic spectra spanning the visible and near-infrared region, and they are selectively synthesized by varying the base sequence of the DNA template. In these studies, a 16-base cluster template is adjoined with a 12-base sequence complementary to the target analyte, and hybridization induces structural changes in the composite sensor that direct the conversion between two spectrally and stoichiometrically distinct clusters. Without its complement, the sensor strand selectively harbors ~7 Ag atoms that absorb at 400 nm and fold the DNA host. Upon association of the target with its recognition site, the sensor strand opens to expose the cluster template that has the binding site for ~11 Ag atoms, and absorption at 720 nm with relatively strong emission develops in lieu of the violet absorption. Variations in the length and composition of the recognition site and the cluster template indicate that these types of dual-component sensors provide a general platform for near-infrared-based detection of oligonucleotides in challenging biological environments.

Efficient separation of xylene isomers by a guest-responsive metal-organic framework with rotational anionic sites.

Project description:The separation of xylene isomers (para-, meta-, orth-) remains a great challenge in the petrochemical industry due to their similar molecular structure and physical properties. Porous materials with sensitive nanospace and selective binding sites for discriminating the subtle structural difference of isomers are urgently needed. Here, we demonstrate the adaptively molecular discrimination of xylene isomers by employing a NbOF52--pillared metal-organic framework (NbOFFIVE-bpy-Ni, also referred to as ZU-61) with rotational anionic sites. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies indicate that ZU-61 with guest-responsive nanospace/sites can adapt the shape of specific isomers through geometric deformation and/or the rotation of fluorine atoms in anionic sites, thereby enabling ZU-61 to effectively differentiate xylene isomers through multiple C-H···F interactions. ZU-61 exhibited both high meta-xylene uptake capacity (3.4 mmol g-1) and meta-xylene/para-xylene separation selectivity (2.9, obtained from breakthrough curves), as well as a favorable separation sequence as confirmed by breakthrough experiments: para-xylene elute first with high-purity (≥99.9%), then meta-xylene, and orth-xylene. Such a remarkable performance of ZU-61 can be attributed to the type anionic binding sites together with its guest-response properties.

Atom Assisted Photochemistry in Optical Cavities.

Project description:Strong light-matter coupling can modify the photochemistry of molecular systems. The collective dynamics of an ensemble of molecules coupled to the light field plays a crucial role in experimental observations. However, the theory of polaritonic chemistry is primarily understood in terms of single molecules, since even in small molecular ensembles the collective dynamics becomes difficult to disentangle. Understanding of the underlying ensemble mechanisms is key to a conceptual understanding and interpretation of experiments. We present a model system that simplifies the problem by mixing two-level Mg atoms with a single MgH+ molecule and investigate its collective dynamics. Our focus is on the modified chemical properties of a single diatomic molecule in the presence of an ensemble of resonant atoms as well as the structure of the major and intermediate polariton states. We present quantum dynamics simulations of the coupled vibronic-photonic system for a variable size of the atomic ensemble. Special attention is given to dissociative the dynamics of the MgH+ molecule.

Manipulating optical nonlinearities of molecular polaritons by delocalization.

Project description:Optical nonlinearities are key resources in the contemporary photonics toolbox, relevant to quantum gate operations and all-optical switches. Chemical modification is often used to control the nonlinear response of materials at the microscopic level, but on-the-fly manipulation of such response is challenging. Tunability of optical nonlinearities in the mid-infrared (IR) is even less developed, hindering its applications in chemical sensing or IR photonic circuitry. Here, we report control of vibrational polariton coherent nonlinearities by manipulation of macroscopic parameters such as cavity longitudinal length or molecular concentration. Further two-dimensional IR investigations reveal that nonlinear dephasing provides the dominant source of the observed ultrafast polariton nonlinearities. The reported phenomena originate from the nonlinear macroscopic polarization stemming from strong coupling between microscopic molecular excitations and a macroscopic photonic cavity mode.

Rational approach to guest confinement inside MOF cavities for low-temperature catalysis.

Project description:Geometric or electronic confinement of guests inside nanoporous hosts promises to deliver unusual catalytic or opto-electronic functionality from existing materials but is challenging to obtain particularly using metastable hosts, such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Reagents (e.g. precursor) may be too large for impregnation and synthesis conditions may also destroy the hosts. Here we use thermodynamic Pourbaix diagrams (favorable redox and pH conditions) to describe a general method for metal-compound guest synthesis by rationally selecting reaction agents and conditions. Specifically we demonstrate a MOF-confined RuO2 catalyst (RuO2@MOF-808-P) with exceptionally high catalytic CO oxidation below 150 °C as compared to the conventionally made SiO2-supported RuO2 (RuO2/SiO2). This can be caused by weaker interactions between CO/O and the MOF-encapsulated RuO2 surface thus avoiding adsorption-induced catalytic surface passivation. We further describe applications of the Pourbaix-enabled guest synthesis (PEGS) strategy with tutorial examples for the general synthesis of arbitrary guests (e.g. metals, oxides, hydroxides, sulfides).

Hybrid Semimagnetic Polaritons in a Strongly Coupled Optical Microcavity.

Project description:Exciton-polaritons of a hybrid type, emerging in a structure comprising semimagnetic (Mn-doped) and nonmagnetic quantum wells coupled via the microcavity optical mode are demonstrated and studied. Thanks to the susceptibility of the excitons in the magnetic quantum well to the magnetic field, all the emerging hybrid polariton states acquire magnetic properties. In that way, external magnetic field enables control over the degree of hybridization, tuning of the ratio of the excitonic to photonic components of the hybrid polaritons, and alteration of the direction and dynamics of the energy transfer between the excitonic states in magnetic and nonmagnetic quantum wells. The presented possibility of the hybridization of a semimagnetic exciton with an exciton in a material that itself does not exhibit any meaningful magnetic effects is highly promising in the context of the fabrication of-to date lacking-organic, perovskite, or dichalcogenide-based systems with strong magnetooptical properties.

Water-walled microfluidics for high-optical finesse cavities.

Project description:In submerged microcavities there is a tradeoff between resonant enhancement for spatial water and light overlap. Why not transform the continuously resonating optical mode to be fully contained in a water microdroplet per se? Here we demonstrate a sustainable 30-?m-pure water device, bounded almost completely by free surfaces, enabling >1,000,000 re-circulations of light. The droplets survive for >16?h using a technique that is based on a nano-water bridge from the droplet to a distant reservoir to compensate for evaporation. More than enabling a nearly-perfect optical overlap with water, atomic-level surface smoothness that minimizes scattering loss, and ?99% coupling efficiency from a standard fibre. Surface tension in our droplet is 8,000 times stronger than gravity, suggesting a new class of devices with water-made walls, for new fields of study including opto-capillaries.
