The interaction between molecular electronic transitions and electromagnetic fields can be
enlarged to the point where distinct hybrid light–matter states, polaritons, emerge. The …

Chemical manifestations of strong light–matter coupling have recently been a subject of
intense experimental and theoretical studies. Here we review the present status of this field …

Polaritonic chemistry exploits strong light–matter coupling between molecules and confined
electromagnetic field modes to enable new chemical reactivities. In systems displaying this …

Plasmon-assisted chemistry is the result of a complex interplay between electromagnetic
near fields, heat and charge transfer on the nanoscale. The disentanglement of their roles is …

In the past 20 years, we have reached a broad understanding of many light-driven
phenomena in nanoscale systems. The temporal dynamics of the excited states are instead …

Despite the traditional plasmonic materials are counted on one hand, there are a lot of
possible combinations leading to alloys with other elements of the periodic table, in …

Collective strong coupling between a disordered ensemble of N localized molecular
vibrations and a resonant optical cavity mode gives rise to two polariton and N-1≫ 2 dark …

Plasmonic-driven photocatalysis may lead to reaction selectivity that cannot be otherwise
achieved. A fundamental role is played by hot carriers, ie, electrons and holes generated …

Hybrid methods that combine quantum mechanical descriptions with classical models are
very popular in molecular modeling. Such a large diffusion reflects their effectiveness, which …

The rise of modern computer science enabled physical chemistry to make enormous
progresses in understanding and harnessing natural and artificial phenomena …
