Spectrum Simulations

Our group has investigated the UV and visible spectrum of a number of molecules. The simulations are performed with a semiclassical method, which allows obtaining absorption cross section in absolute units and includes vibronic couplings.

In a recent investigation, we have used this methodology to show how the anomalous photophysics of urocanic acid, one of the main UV absorbers in our skin, can be explained by tautomeric effects.
