Science Daily  May 3, 2023 Bose-Einstein condensation of excitons enables frictionless energy transfer, but typically occurs under extreme conditions in highly ordered materials, such as graphene double layers. Photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes demonstrate extremely efficient transfer of energy in disordered systems under ambient conditions. Researchers at the University of Chicago established a link between the two phenomena by investigating the potential for exciton-condensate-like amplification of energy transport in room-temperature light harvesting. Using a model of the Fenna-Matthews-Olson complex and accounting for intrachromophore electron correlation explicitly through the addition of multiple sites to the individual chromophores, they observed amplification of the exciton […]
