Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Molecule
  • Ion

His primary areas of investigation include Excited state, Photochemistry, Absorption spectroscopy, Absorption and Femtosecond. The Excited state study combines topics in areas such as Delocalized electron, Ruthenium, Bipyridine, Ground state and Electron transfer. In general Photochemistry study, his work on Chromophore often relates to the realm of Nanotechnology, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

He works mostly in the field of Absorption, limiting it down to topics relating to Nanosecond and, in certain cases, Ultrafast laser spectroscopy, as a part of the same area of interest. James K. McCusker has included themes like Molecule, Relaxation and Chemical physics in his Femtosecond study. In his research, Crystallography is intimately related to Intersystem crossing, which falls under the overarching field of Relaxation.

His most cited work include:

  • Femtosecond Dynamics of Excited-State Evolution in [Ru(bpy)3]2+ (468 citations)
  • Femtosecond absorption spectroscopy of transition metal charge-transfer complexes. (292 citations)
  • Using coherence to enhance function in chemical and biophysical systems (268 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Excited state, Crystallography, Photochemistry, Absorption spectroscopy and Chromophore are his primary areas of study. His research integrates issues of Chemical physics, Ground state, Transition metal, Analytical chemistry and Electron transfer in his study of Excited state. His Crystallography study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Carboxylate, Stereochemistry and Molecule.

His Photochemistry research includes themes of Ruthenium, 2,2'-Bipyridine, Electronic structure, Photoexcitation and Picosecond. The study incorporates disciplines such as Nanosecond, Ultrafast laser spectroscopy, Bipyridine and Femtosecond in addition to Absorption spectroscopy. His work carried out in the field of Chromophore brings together such families of science as Spectral line and Physical chemistry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Excited state (38.78%)
  • Crystallography (39.80%)
  • Photochemistry (27.55%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Excited state (38.78%)
  • Chromophore (18.37%)
  • Nanotechnology (7.14%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His scientific interests lie mostly in Excited state, Chromophore, Nanotechnology, Transition metal and Photoredox catalysis. His Excited state research includes elements of Ligand field theory, Crystallography, Bipyridine, Density functional theory and Absorption spectroscopy. His Crystallography study incorporates themes from Ion, Pyridine and Carbene.

James K. McCusker combines subjects such as Chemical physics, Spectroscopy, Quantum and Physical chemistry with his study of Chromophore. Molecule, Photon, Kinetics, Analytical chemistry and Spectral line is closely connected to Absorption in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Chemical physics. His studies deal with areas such as Iridium, Photoexcitation and Ground state as well as Transition metal.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Using coherence to enhance function in chemical and biophysical systems (268 citations)
  • The photophysics of photoredox catalysis: a roadmap for catalyst design (235 citations)
  • Photosensitized, energy transfer-mediated organometallic catalysis through electronically excited nickel(II). (151 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Molecule
  • Ion

James K. McCusker mainly focuses on Nanotechnology, Excited state, Transition metal, Photoredox catalysis and Energy transfer. James K. McCusker integrates Nanotechnology with Charge separation in his research. His Excited state study combines topics in areas such as Photochemistry, Iridium and Kinetics.

His work deals with themes such as Ion, Octahedron, Ligand field theory, Pyridine and Crystallography, which intersect with Photochemistry. His study in Transition metal is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Chromophore and Mechanistic organic photochemistry. His Chromophore study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Chemical physics, Absorption, Charge, Spectral line and Analytical chemistry.
