It provides new insights into the role of vibrational dynamics during singlet fission of organic pentacene thin films, and targeting the importance of vibrational dynamics in the design of nanoscale organic light harvesting devices, it also develops a new wavelet analysis technique to probe vibronic dynamics in time-resolved nonlinear optical experiments. Lastly, the thesis explores the theory of how non-linear ?breather? vibrations are excited and propagate in the disordered nanostructures of photosynthetic proteins.   . 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aSpectroscopy 606 $aMicroscopy 606 $aBiophysics 606 $aBiological physics 606 $aBioorganic chemistry 606 $aEnergy harvesting 606 $aAtomic structure   606 $aMolecular structure  606 $aSurfaces (Physics) 606 $aInterfaces (Physical sciences) 606 $aThin films 606 $aSpectroscopy and Microscopy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31090 606 $aBiological and Medical Physics, Biophysics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P27008 606 $aBioorganic Chemistry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C19010 606 $aEnergy Harvesting$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/117000 606 $aAtomic/Molecular Structure and Spectra$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24017 606 $aSurface and Interface Science, Thin Films$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25160 615 0$aSpectroscopy. 615 0$aMicroscopy. 615 0$aBiophysics. 615 0$aBiological physics. 615 0$aBioorganic chemistry. 615 0$aEnergy harvesting. 615 0$aAtomic structure  . 615 0$aMolecular structure . 615 0$aSurfaces (Physics). 615 0$aInterfaces (Physical sciences). 615 0$aThin films. 615 14$aSpectroscopy and Microscopy. 615 24$aBiological and Medical Physics, Biophysics. 615 24$aBioorganic Chemistry. 615 24$aEnergy Harvesting. 615 24$aAtomic/Molecular Structure and Spectra. 615 24$aSurface and Interface Science, Thin Films. 676 $a530.1433 700 $aMorgan$b Sarah Elizabeth$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0913712 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254598203321 996 $aUltrafast Quantum Effects and Vibrational Dynamics in Organic and Biological Systems$92047122 997 $aUNINA
