Delocalized excitons in natural light-harvesting complexes (2018, methodology): “To this end, an exciton-bath model (Jang and Silbey, 2003a) incorporating the bath spectral density (Renger and Marcus, 2002) extracted from spectroscopic data was developed.”
Theoretical examination of quantum coherence in a photosynthetic system at physiological temperature (2009, methodology): “On the other hand, in the fastest relaxation case in the literature, τc = 35 fs (35), numerical results with Eq.”
Long-lived quantum coherence in photosynthetic complexes at physiological temperature (2010, result): “energy (35 cm-1 ) and ω c is the cut-off frequency (150 cm -1) (7). The observed linear relationship demonstrates that an Ohmic spectral density is a reasonable approximation for modeling this complex(28). Furthermore, the slope from the linear regression fit is 0.52 ± 0.07 cm-1/K, agreeing with the”
