Supramolecular Energy Transfer in Self-Assembled Biomimetic Polymer Nanocomposites Based upon Green Bacterial Antenna Complexes

Nature Materials

Timlin, Jerilyn A.; Anthony, Stephen M.; Collins, Aaron; Montano, Gabriel

Photosynthetic organisms use complex and regulated multichromophore assemblies, called lightharvesting (LH) antennas, to capture, concentrate and direct solar radiation to reaction centers that then carry out concomitant chemistry. Nature’s LH antennas are remarkable, operating with high efficiency in fluctuating environmental and photic conditions as well as being assembled with nanoscale precision thus, they often serve as inspiration in material design. The presented work was inspired by a natural LH antenna. We show that a diblock copolymer amphiphile enables the generation and integration of optically dense chromophore arrays, within a biomimetic polymer membrane. The entire construct is solution-processable, scalable and exhibits intra and inter-supramolecular energy transfer in a completely noncovalent design. This work demonstrates the potential of polymer membrane materials in generating spatial-energetic landscapes for photonic applications.

Simple Array Beam-Shaping Using Phase-Only Adjustments

Doerry, Armin W.

Conventional beam-shaping for array antennas is accomplished via an amplitude-taper on the elemental radiators. It is well known that proper manipulation of the elemental phases can also shape the antenna far-field pattern. A fairly simple transformation from a desired amplitude-taper to a phase-taper can yield nearly equivalent results.

Modeling Mathematical Programs with Equilibrium Constraints in Pyomo

Hart, William E.; Siirola, John D.

We describe new capabilities for modeling MPEC problems within the Pyomo modeling software. These capabilities include new modeling components that represent complementarity conditions, modeling transformations for re-expressing models with complementarity conditions in other forms, and meta-solvers that apply transformations and numeric optimization solvers to optimize MPEC problems. We illustrate the breadth of Pyomo's modeling capabilities for MPEC problems, and we describe how Pyomo's meta-solvers can perform local and global optimization of MPEC problems.
