Offer Description
Over the past decade, the possibility of manipulating material and chemical properties by using hybrid light-matter states has stimulated considerable interest [1,2]. Such hybrid light-matter states can be generated by strongly coupling the electronic or the vibrational transitions of a material, to the spatially confined electromagnetic field of an optical resonator. Most importantly, this occurs even in the dark because the coupling involves the zero-point electromagnetic fluctuations of the resonator. The project is centred on studying the changes in chemical reactivity and molecular processes such as self-assembly, phase transitions, charge transfer complexation, etc when vibrational modes of the solute or the solvent are coupled to an optical cavity. It is highly exploratory as this a relatively new field with much potential.
