Synthesis, Structure, and Thin Film Optical Properties of a Chiral Benzothiazole‐Derived Squaraine
Solution‐processed thin films can be sensitive to the choice of solvent and thermal annealing, which we explore for a chiral benzothiazole squaraine. We observe peculiarly shaped excitonic circular dichroism in uniaxially anisotropic thin films, in which the presumed Davydov bands are spatially distributed exclusively into in‐plane (UDC) and out‐of ...

The electronic structure and intervalley coupling of artificial and genuine graphene superlattice
A so-called artificial graphene is an artificial material whose low-energy carriers are described by the massless Dirac equation. Applying a periodic potential with triangular symmetry to a two-dimensional electron gas is one way to make such a material.

Temporal fluctuations in excimer-like interactions between pi-conjugated chromophores
Inter- or intramolecular coupling processes between chromophores such as excimer formation or H- and J-aggregation are crucial to describing the photophysics of closely packed films of conjugated polymers.

Quantum entanglement between electronic and vibrational degrees of freedom in molecules
We consider the quantum entanglement of the electronic and vibrational degrees of freedom in molecules with a tendency towards double welled potentials using model coupled harmonic diabatic potential-energy surfaces.

Motion as manipulation: Implementation of motion and force analogies by event-file binding and action planning\ud [PDF]
Tool improvisation analogies are a special case of motion and force analogies that appear to be implemented pre-conceptually, in many species, by event-file binding and action planning.

'I Heard Beauty Dying': The Cultural Critique of Plastic in Gravity's Rainbow
This essay attempts to get a grasp on Pynchon's 700-plus page omnibus, Gravity's Rainbow, by focusing on the development of a single motif in the novel: plastic. It argues that Pynchon takes 1960s and 1970s critiques of supply-driven consumer capitalism,
