大綱:
A QED [1] theory of resonance energy transfer (RET) between a pair of identical chiral
molecules by one or two neutral, passive, electric dipole polarizable bodies, is developed.
Migration of excitation energy occurs via the exchange of a single virtual photon between any
two interacting particles. Isotropic Fermi golden rule transfer rates are evaluated for direct and
bridge-mediated pathways. Rates from both routes depend on the chirality of the donor and
acceptor moieties [2-4]. For conveyance of energy to take place indirectly, a multi-level model
must be adopted for each mediator polarizability. Furthermore, the rate is found to be a
maximum when the three or four particles are collinear. Additionally, the electric dipole-dipole
rate mediated by a single chiral molecule is investigated. Useful understanding is gained of
propagation of energy between optically active entities in a complex medium [5].
