The electronic excited states of molecular aggregates and their photophysical signatures
have long fascinated spectroscopists and theoreticians alike since the advent of Frenkel …

The influence of exciton–vibrational coupling on the optical and transport properties of
molecular aggregates is an old problem that gained renewed interest in recent years. On the …

Abstract The widely known “Energy Gap Law”(EGL) predicts a monotonically exponential
increase in the non-radiative decay rate (k nr) as the energy gap narrows, which hinders the …

Rapid advances in chemical synthesis and fabrication techniques have led to a boost in
manufacturing and design of novel nanostructured materials that exhibit unique and often …

The primary questions motivating this report are: Are there ways to increase coherence and
delocalization of excitation among many molecules at moderate electronic coupling …

The properties of polaritons in J-aggregate microcavities are explored using a Hamiltonian
which treats exciton-vibrational coupling and exciton-photon coupling on equal footing …

The polarized absorption spectra of crystalline pentacene are obtained for excitation normal
to the ab herringbone plane by measuring transmitted light in ultrathin crystals. The spectral …

Recent time-resolved spectroscopic experiments have indicated that vibronic coupling plays
a vital role in facilitating the process of singlet fission. In this work, which forms the first article …

In biological light harvesting, solar energy is captured by photosynthetic antennae for
subsequent storage into chemical bonds. The remarkable efficiency reached in transferring …

Conjugated polymers offer potential for many diverse applications, but we still lack a
fundamental microscopic understanding of their electronic structure. Elementary …
