Coupled exciton model with off-diagonal disorder for optical excitations in extended dendrimers
نویسنده
چکیده
A phenomenological coupled exciton model is proposed in order to characterize optical excitations in extended dendrimers. An onsite exciton state is assigned at each phenyl rings and a nearest neighbor hopping integral which obeys the Gaussian distribution is considered between the exciton states. The decreasing optical excitation energy with respect to the dendrimer size indicates the presence of exciton funnels along the backbone of the dendrimers. Therefore, the extended dendrimers can work as artificial fractal antenna systems which capture energy of light.

A phenomenological random dipole model is proposed in order to characterize optical excitations in extended dendrimers. A transition dipole moment is assigned at each phenyl rings and a nearest neighbor hopping integral which obeys the Gaussian distribution is considered between the dipoles. The decreasing optical excitation energy with respect to the dendrimer size indicates the presence of ex...
متن کامل0 A Density Matrix Renormalization Group study of Excitons in Dendrimers
We introduce the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method as an efficient computational tool for one-exciton approximations with off-diagonal disorder. This method allows us to reduce the computational effort by targetting only a few low-lying eigenstates at each statistical samplings, in contrast to the exact diagonalization methods that compute the whole spectrum. As an application ...
متن کاملExciton confinement in organic dendrimer quantum wells for opto-electronic applications
Organic dendrimers are a fascinating new class of materials for opto-electronic applications. We present coupled electronic oscillator calculations on novel nanoscale conjugated dendrimers for use in organic light-emitting diodes. Strong confinement of excitations at the center of the dendrimers is observed, which accounts for the dependence of intermolecular interactions and charge transport o...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional optical three-pulse photon echo spectroscopy. II. Signatures of coherent electronic motion and exciton population transfer in dimer two-dimensional spectra.
Using the nonperturbative approach to the calculation of nonlinear optical spectra developed in a foregoing paper [Mancal et al., J. Chem. Phys. 124, 234504 (2006), preceding paper], calculations of two-dimensional electronic spectra of an excitonically coupled dimer model system are presented. The dissipative exciton transfer dynamics is treated within the Redfield theory and energetic disorde...
