Effects of Non-Markovian dynamics on the Energy Transport Processes in a Quantum Network
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Rezakhani, Ali (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this thesis we are going to study the effects of Non-Markovianity on the excitation energy transport(EET) and compare it with Markovian effects. We will see that the shape of a network affects its efficiency. The speed of EET in linear networks is slowed down as Non-Markovianity is increased and this in turn lowers the efficiency of linear networks in Non-Markovian regime. Finally, we compare the efficiency of different networks
A Survey on Electronic Structure of the Chlorophyll Molecules Participating in Photosynthesis Process
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Vesaghi, Mohammad Ali (Supervisor)
Abstract
Optimized structure of the chlorophyll a and b molecules was obtained for LDA and GGA approximation by SIESTA package. Calculation illustrate that tails are curved in the optimized structure for both chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b molecules; in addition, Antennas, which are attached to the head of molecules, are located in optimized-spatial state. This optimized structure of chlorophyll a is similar to the calculated structure in ref [42]. Electrical dipole are calculated from ground state electron density of chlorophylls. Total electrical dipole of chlorophyll a for GGA and LDA approximation are 4.662 and 4.813 Debay, and these value for chlorophyll b are 1.435 and 1.302 Debay,...
