      Chiral control of electron transmission through molecules 

      Skourtis, Spiros S.; Beratan, David N.; Naaman, R.; Nitzan, A.; Waldeck, D. H. (2008)
      Electron transmission through chiral molecules induced by circularly polarized light can be very different for mirror-image structures, a peculiar fact given that the electronic energy spectra of the systems are identical. ...

      Coherence in electron transfer pathways 

      Skourtis, Spiros S.; Beratan, David N.; Waldeck, D. H. (2011)
      Central to the view of electron-transfer reactions is the idea that nuclear motion generates a transition state geometry at which the electron/hole amplitude propagates coherently from the electron donor to the electron ...

      Fluctuations in biological and bioinspired electron-transfer reactions 

      Skourtis, Spiros S.; Waldeck, D. H.; Beratan, David N. (2010)
      Central to theories of electron transfer (ET) is the idea that nuclear motion generates a transition state that enables electron flow to proceed, but nuclear motion also induces fluctuations in the donor-acceptor (DA) ...

      Inelastic electron tunneling erases coupling-pathway interferences 

      Skourtis, Spiros S.; Waldeck, D. H.; Beratan, David N. (2004)
      Theoretical analysis of nonadiabatic electron-transfer reactions in molecules usually assumes that electron amplitude propagates coherently from the reductant to the oxidant via covalent and noncovalent coupling pathways. ...
