A theory of the kinematics of singlet exciton annihilation in complexes of a finite number of molecular sites is developed. The theory is based on a specific scheme suggested earlier by Gülen, Wittmershaus, and Knox [Biophys J. 49:469–477 (1986)]. It is adequate to address the excitation kinetics and dynamics in such systems, especially under high excitation intensities. A Pauli master equation is formulated and is solved to give explicit expressions for observables such as quantum yield and fluorescence intensity. The excitation intensity dependence of the observables is taken into account by introducing Poisson statistics. Details relevant to its application to the annihilation of excitons in photosynthetic systems and its connection to earlier theories are presented.

Theoretical investigation of quercetin and its radical isomers Erkoc, E; Erkoc, F; Keskin, N (Elsevier BV, 2003-08-01) The structural and electronic properties of quercetin and its five radical isomers have been investigated theoretically by performing semi-empirical molecular orbital theory calculations. The geometry of the systems have been optimized and the electronic properties of the systems considered have been calculated by semi-empirical self-consistend-field molecular orbital theory at the level AM1 within UHF formalism in their ground state. Conclusions have been drawn by comparing with experimental results.
Theory of impurity induced lattice distortions in the normal phase of charge density wave systems Turgut, Sadi (1994-05-01) A phenomenological Ginzburg-Laundau theory is applied to the normal phase of one-dimensional charge-density-wave systems with a finite concentration of impurities. It is found that the interaction between the impurities and the highly polarizable electron gas leads to a strong and oscillatory impurityimpurity interaction, which in turn leads to ordered impurity arrangements and to sizeable periodic lattice distortions. The effect is very strongly dependent on the charge of the impurities, their concentratio...
Theoretical investigation of hydroxytyrosol and its radicals Erkoc, F; Keskin, N; Erkoç, Şakir (Elsevier BV, 2003-05-05) The structural and electronic properties of hydroxytyrosol, its three radical isomers, and its three analogues hydroxytyrosol-dihydroxyl isomers have been investigated theoretically by performing semi-empirical self-consistent field molecular orbital theory calculations. The geometry of the systems have been optimized and the electronic properties have been calculated at the level of AMI method.
Theoretical investigation of sulforaphane molecule Erkoç, Şakir; Erkoc, F (Elsevier BV, 2005-02-14) The structural and electronic properties of the broccoli sulforaphane molecule have been investigated theoretically by performing semi-empirical molecular orbital (PM3) and density functional theory calculations. The geometry of the molecule has been optimized by PM3 method and the electronic properties and the vibrational spectra of the molecule have been calculated by density functional theory in its ground state.
Modeling of reversible γ/α transformations of low carbon steels in the intercritical temperature range Reti, Tamas; Felde, Imre; Gür, Cemil Hakan (2004-10-01) A phenomenological kinetic model has been developed for the prediction of non-isothermal reversible incomplete transformations in low-carbon hypoeutectoid steels. The theoretical basis of the proposed method has its origin in a possible extension of the traditional Austin-Rickett kinetic differential equation. To critically assess the applicability of the model, a number of experiments based on computer simulations have been performed to predict the austenite/ferrite proeutectoid transformation in the tempe...
