Resumen:

Here we present a detailed description of the direct charge injection mechanism in a coupled

dye-TiO2 nanoparticle (NP) using a full quantum dynamical framework. The method employed

is based on a time dependent tight binding model for describing the system in a non-equilibrium

condition [1]. By using this tools, we show calculated band structure an absorption spectra in order

to identify the electronic levels ivolved in the electron injection [2]. By tunning the frequency of

a sinusoidal time dependent electric eld with the frequency of the dye-TiO2 NP main absorption

peak, we can describe the direct charge injection mechanism from the dye to the TiO2 NP. We nd

that, during the eld irradiation there is a net charge transfer from the dye to the NP mounted

on a typical charge oscillation due to absorption of radiant energy. Finally, two dyes with di
erent

transition dipole moment are compared.
