Such systems could serve as plasmonically enhanced light-harvesting materials, sensors or catalysts. We present here a theoretical approach for the simulation of the optical properties of ordered arrays of metal clusters that is based on the ab initio parametrized Frenkel exciton model. We demonstrate that small atomically precise silver clusters can be assembled in one- and two-dimensional arrays on suitably designed porphyrin templates exhibiting remarkable optical properties. By employing explicit TDDFT calculations on smaller homologs, we show that the intrinsic optical properties of metal clusters are largely preserved but undergo J- and H-type excitonic coupling that results in controllable splitting of their excited states. Furthermore, ab initio parameterized Frenkel exciton model calculations allow us to predict an energetic splitting of up to 0.77 eV in extended two-dimensional square arrays and 0.79 eV in tilted square aggregates containing up to 25 cluster-porphyrin subunits.}, language = {en} } @article{LisinetskayaRoehrMitrić2016, author = {Lisinetskaya, Polina and R{\"o}hr, Merle I.

In order to describe the electronic coupling between individual constituents of the nanostructure we use the ab initio parameterized transition charge method which is more accurate than the usual dipole-dipole coupling. The electronic population dynamics in the nanostructure under an external laser pulse excitation is simulated by numerical integration of the time-dependent Schrodinger equation employing the fully coupled Hamiltonian. The solution of the TDSE gives rise to time-dependent partial point charges for each subunit of the nanostructure, and the spatio-temporal electric field distribution is evaluated by means of classical electrodynamics methods. The time-dependent partial charges are determined based on the stationary partial and transition charges obtained in the framework of the TDDFT. In order to treat large plasmonic nanostructures constructed of many constituents, the approximate self-consistent iterative approach presented in (Lisinetskaya and Mitric in Phys Rev B 89:035433, 2014) is modified to include the transition-charge-based interaction. The developed methods are used to study the optical response and exciton dynamics of Ag-3(+) and porphyrin-Ag-4 dimers. Subsequently, the spatio-temporal electric field distribution in a ring constructed of ten porphyrin-Ag-4 subunits under the action of circularly polarized laser pulse is simulated. The presented methodology provides a theoretical basis for the investigation of coupled light-exciton propagation in nanoarchitectures built from molecular size metal nanoclusters in which quantum confinement effects are important.}, language = {en} } @article{LisinetskayaBraunProchetal.2016, author = {Lisinetskaya, Polina and Braun, Christian and Proch, Sebastian and Kim, Young Dok and Gantef{\"o}r, Gerd and Mitrić, Roland}, title = {Excited state nonadiabatic dynamics of bare and hydrated anionic gold clusters Au\(^-_3\)[H\(_2\)O]\(_n\) (n=0-2)}, series = {Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics}, volume = {18}, journal = {Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics}, number = {9}, issn = {1463-9076}, doi = {10.1039/c5cp04297f}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-159176}, pages = {6411-6419}, year = {2016}, abstract = {We present a joint theoretical and experimental study of excited state dynamics in pure and hydrated anionic gold clusters Au\(^-_3\)[H\(_2\)O]\(_n\) (n = 0-2).

A gradual decrease of the excited state lifetime with the number of adsorbed water molecules as well as gold cluster fragmentation quenching by two or more water molecules are observed both in experiment and in simulations. Non-radiative relaxation and dissociation in excited states are found to be responsible for the excited state population depletion. Time constants of these two processes strongly depend on the number of water molecules leading to the possibility to modulate excited state dynamics and fragmentation of the anionic cluster by adsorption of water molecules.}, language = {en} } @article{WohlgemuthMitric2016, author = {Wohlgemuth, Matthias and Mitric, Roland}, title = {Photochemical Chiral Symmetry Breaking in Alanine}, series = {Journal of Physical Chemistry A}, volume = {45}, journal = {Journal of Physical Chemistry A}, number = {120}, doi = {10.1021/acs.jpca.6b07611}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-158557}, pages = {8976-8982}, year = {2016}, abstract = {We introduce a general theoretical approach for the simulation of photochemical dynamics under the influence of circularly polarized light to explore the possibility of generating enantiomeric enrichment through polarized-light-selective photochemistry. The method is applied to the simulation of the photolysis of alanine, a prototype chiral amino acid. We show that a systematic enantiomeric enrichment can be obtained depending on the helicity of the circularly polarized light that induces the excited-state photochemistry of alanine. By analyzing the patterns of the photoinduced fragmentation of alanine we find an inducible enantiomeric enrichment up to 1.7\%, which is also in good correspondence to the experimental findings. Our method is generally applicable to complex systems and might serve to systematically explore the photochemical origin of homochirality.}, language = {en} } @article{ArrowsmithBoehnkeBraunschweigetal.2016, author = {Arrowsmith, Merle and B{\"o}hnke, Julian and Braunschweig, Holger and Celik, Mehmet and Claes, Christina and Ewing, William and Krummenacher, Ivo and Lubitz, Katharina and Schneider, Christoph}, title = {Neutral Diboron Analogues of Archetypal Aromatic Species by Spontaneous Cycloaddition}, series = {Angewandte Chemie, International Edition}, volume = {55}, journal = {Angewandte Chemie, International Edition}, doi = {10.1002/anie.201602384}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-138226}, pages = {11271-11275}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Among the numerous routes organic chemists have developed to synthesize benzene derivatives and heteroaro- matic compounds, transition-metal-catalyzed cycloaddition reactions are the most elegant.

Metacognitive prompts are a promising type of instructional support to activate students' strategic learning activities. However, despite positive effects in previous studies, there are still a large number of students who do not benefit from provided support. Therefore, it may be necessary to consider explicitly the conditions under which a prompt is beneficial for a student, i.e., so-called adaptive scaffolding. The current study aims to (i) classify the effectiveness of prompts on regulatory behavior, (ii) investigate the correspondence of the classification with learning outcome, and (iii) discover the conditions under which prompts induce regulatory activities (i.e., the proper temporal positioning of prompts). The think-aloud data of an experiment in which metacognitive prompts supported the experimental group (n = 35) was used to distinguish between effective and non-effective prompts. Students' activities preceding the prompt presentation were analyzed using data mining and process mining techniques. The results indicate that approximately half of the presented prompts induced metacognitive learning activities as expected. Moreover, the number of induced monitoring activities correlates positively with transfer performance. Finally, the occurrence of orientation and monitoring activities, which are not well-embedded in the course of learning, increases the effectiveness of a presented prompt. In general, our findings demonstrate the benefits of investigating metacognitive support using process data, which can provide implications for the design of effective instructional support.}, language = {en} } @article{BornZinnerDuekingetal.2016, author = {Born, Dennis-Peter and Zinner, Christoph and D{\"u}king, Peter and Sperlich, Billy}, title = {Multi-Directional Sprint Training Improves Change-Of-Direction Speed and Reactive Agility in Young Highly Trained Soccer Players}, series = {Journal of Sports Science and Medicine}, volume = {15}, journal = {Journal of Sports Science and Medicine}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-146866}, pages = {314-319}, year = {2016}, abstract = {The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a repeated sprint training with multi-directional change-of-direction (COD) movements (RSmulti) compared to repeated shuttle sprints (RSS) on variables related to COD speed and reactive agility. Nineteen highly-trained male U15 soccer players were assigned into two groups performing either RSmulti or RSS. For both groups, each training session involved 20 repeated 15 s sprints interspersed with 30 s recovery. With RSmulti the COD movements were randomized and performed in response to a visual stimulus, while the RSS involved predefined 180° COD movements. Before and following the six training sessions, performance in the Illinois agility test (IAT), COD speed in response to a visual stimulus, 20 m linear sprint time and vertical jumping height were assessed. Both groups improved their performance in the IAT (p < 0.01, ES = 1.13; p = 0.01, ES = 0.55). The COD speed in response to a visual stimulus improved with the RSmulti (p < 0.01, ES = 1.03), but not the RSS (p = 0.46, ES = 0.28). No differences were found for 20 m sprint time (P=0.73, ES = 0.07; p = 0.14, ES = 0.28) or vertical jumping height (p = 0.46, ES = 0.11; p = 0.29, ES = 0.12) for the RSmulti and RSS, respectively. In conclusion, performance in the IAT improved with the RSmulti as well as RSS. With the RSmulti however, the COD movements are performed in response to a visual stimulus, which may result in specific adaptations that improve COD speed and reactive agility in young highly trained soccer players.}, language = {en} }
