My publications

Full list of my publications can be found here, and my Google Scholar profile is here.

Here, I will provide brief information about my peer-reviewed papers. I currently have 42 peer-reviewed papers, 24 of which are first-author publications and 19 are corresponding-author publications. The highest-impact papers were published in the following journals: Science (1), Science Advances (1), Nature Communications (1, 2, and 3), Physical Review Le‹ers (1), Angewandte Chemie (1, 2), and The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters (1, 2). Six of the published works were also the covers of the issues for Angewandte Chemie (both 1 and 2), Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (1, 2, and 3), and Photochem (1). Below are the two of these covers with my design:

A few publications are also listed below:

1. D.S. Tikhonov et al. // J. Comp. Chem. 46 (2025), e70148. 

This paper is the result of an online, self-organized project I led to develop a mass-spectra analysis tool and a theoretical prediction workflow for computing mass spectra of poisonous and explosive compounds.

2. D.S. Tikhonov et al. // ChemPhysChem 25 (2024), e202400547. 

This paper introduces a new approach for obtaining scale factors for vibrational (e.g., infrared) spectroscopy and presents the best set of scale factors to date for everyday use.

3. D.S. Tikhonov et al. // Photochem 4 (2024), pp. 57–110.

This is a huge (53 pages) conceptual paper that explains femtochemistry and inverse problems (fitting) from the basics, and also introduces my software for global fitting of pump-probe spectroscopy data.

4. D.S. Tikhonov et al. // Sci. Adv. 8 (2022), eade0311.

This theoretical paper proposes, from first principles, a quantum control experiment to make planar molecules chiral.

5. D.S. Tikhonov // J. Chem. Phys. 144 (2016), no. 17, p. 174108.

This was the first single-author paper I completed in just five (!) days.
