The two-dimensional spectroscopy has recently revealed oscillatory behavior of excitation dynamics in molecular systems. However, in the majority of cases it is strongly debated if excitonic or vibrational wavepackets, or evidences of quantum transport have been observed. In this letter, the method for distinguishing between vibrational and excitonic wavepacket motion is presented, based on the phase and amplitude relationships of oscillations of distinct peaks, which has been revealed using fundamental analysis of two-dimensional spectrum of two representative systems.

Coherent dynamics of coupled molecules are effectively characterized by the two-dimensional (2D) electronic coherent spectroscopy. Depending on the coupling between electronic and vibrational states, oscillating signals of purely electronic, purely v
ibrational or mixed origin can be observed. Even in the mixed molecular systems two types of coherent beats having either electronic or vibrational character can be distinguished by analyzing oscillation Fourier maps, constructed from time-resolved 2D spectra. The amplitude of the beatings with the electronic character is heavily affected by the energetic disorder and consequently electronic coherences are quickly dephased. Beatings with the vibrational character depend weakly on the disorder, assuring their long-time survival. We show that detailed modeling of 2D spectroscopy signals of molecular aggregates providesdirect information on the origin of the coherent beatings.
We demonstrate that the coupling of excitonic and vibrational motion in biological complexes can provide mechanisms to explain the long-lived oscillations that have been obtained in non linear spectroscopic signals of different photosynthetic pigment
protein complexes and we discuss the contributions of excitonic versus purely vibrational components to these oscillatory features. Considering a dimer model coupled to a structured spectral density we exemplify the fundamental aspects of the electron-phonon dynamics, and by analyzing separately the different contributions to the non linear signal, we show that for realistic parameter regimes purely electronic coherence is of the same order as purely vibrational coherence in the electronic ground state. Moreover, we demonstrate how the latter relies upon the excitonic interaction to manifest. These results link recently proposed microscopic, non-equilibrium mechanisms to support long lived coherence at ambient temperatures with actual experimental observations of oscillatory behaviour using 2D photon echo techniques to corroborate the fundamental importance of the interplay of electronic and vibrational degrees of freedom in the dynamics of light harvesting aggregates.
Recently, nuclear vibrational contribution signatures in 2D electronic spectroscopy have attracted considerable interest, in particular as regards interpretation of the oscillatory transients observed in light-harvesting complexes. These transients h
ave dephasing times that persist for much longer than theoretically predicted electronic coherence lifetime. As a plausible explanation for this long-lived spectral beating in 2D electronic spectra, quantum-mechanically mixed electronic and vibrational states (vibronic excitons) were proposed by Christensson et al. [J. Phys. Chem. B 116, 7449 (2012)] and have since been explored. In this work, we address a dimer which produces little beating of electronic origin in the absence of vibronic contributions, and examine the impact of protein-induced fluctuations upon electronic-vibrational quantum mixtures by calculating the electronic energy transfer dynamics and 2D electronic spectra in a numerically accurate manner. It is found that, at cryogenic temperatures, the electronic-vibrational quantum mixtures are rather robust, even under the influence of the fluctuations and despite the small Huang-Rhys factors of the Franck-Condon active vibrational modes. This results in long-lasting beating behavior of vibrational origin in the 2D electronic spectra. At physiological temper- atures, however, the fluctuations eradicate the mixing and, hence, the beating in the 2D spectra disappears. Further, it is demonstrated that such electronic-vibrational quantum mixtures do not necessarily play a significant role in electronic energy trans- fer dynamics, despite contributing to the enhancement of long-lived quantum beating in 2D electronic spectra, contrary to speculations in recent publications.
Quantum coherence is highly involved in photochemical functioning of complex molecular systems. Co-existence and intermixing of electronic and/or vibrational coherences, while never unambiguously identified experimentally, has been proposed to be res
ponsible for this phenomenon. Analysis of multidimensional spectra of a synthetic belt-shaped molecular six-porphyrin nanoring with an inner template clearly shows a great diversity of separable electronic, vibrational and mixed coherences and their cooperation shaping the optical response. The results yield clear assignment of electronic and vibronic states, estimation of excitation transfer rates, and decoherence times. Theoretical considerations prove that the complexity of excitation dynamics and spectral features of the nanoring excitation spectrum is due to combined effect of cyclic symmetry, small geometrical deformations, and vibronic coupling.
The vibrational modes in organic/inorganic layered perovskites are of fundamental importance for their optoelectronic properties. The hierarchical architecture of the Ruddlesden-Popper phase of these materials allows for distinct directionality of th
e vibrational modes withrespect to the main axes of the pseudocubic lattice in the octahedral plane. Here, we study the directionality of the fundamental phonon modes in single exfoliated Ruddlesden-Popper perovskite flakes with polarized Raman spectroscopy at ultralow-frequencies. A wealth of Raman bands is distinguished in the range from 15-150 cm-1 (2-15 meV), whose features depend on the organic cation species, on temperature, and on the direction of the linear polarization of the incident light. By controlling the angle of the linear polarization of the excitation laser with respect to the in-plane axes of the octahedral layer, we gain detailed information on the symmetry of the vibrational modes. The choice of two different organic moieties, phenethylammonium (PEA) and butylammonium (BA) allows to discern the influence of the linker molecules, evidencing strong anisotropy of the vibrations for the (PEA)2PbBr4 samples. Temperature dependent Raman measurements reveal that the broad phonon bands observed at room temperature consist of a series of sharp modes, and that such mode splitting strongly differs for the different organic moieties and vibrational bands.
