Energy transfer dynamics in biomaterial systems

This book presents a collection of review articles that cover the key topics addressed in the workshop 'Energy Flow Dynamics in Biomaterial Systems' which was held in October 2007 in Paris. These reviews illustrate the many facets oftoday's theoretical picture of electronic and vibronic dynamics and transportphenomena in biological, biomimetic, and molecular electronic systems. Part Ifocuses on the quantum dynamics of excitation energy transfer, e.g., in DNA and light-harvesting systems, part II addresses molecular electronics and quantum transport in organic materials, and part III illustrates new theoretical and computational approaches. The scope of the book is deliberately broad in terms of physical systems studied and yet unified in the use of quantum dynamicalmethods to describe transient and often ultrafast energy and charge transfer events in complex systems. INDICE: From the contents Introduction, by Editors. Part I. Quantum dynamics in biological systems.- Part II. Quantum transport in materials.- Part III.New methods for quantum dynamics in complex systems.
