Excitonic transport in static-disordered one dimensional systems is studied in the presence of thermal fluctuations that are described by the Haken–Strobl–Reineker model. For short times, non-diffusive behavior is observed that can be characterized as the free-particle dynamics on the length-scale bounded by the Anderson localized system. Over longer time scales, the environment-induced dephasing is sufficient to overcome the Anderson localization caused by the disorder and allow for transport to occur which is always seen to be diffusive. In the limiting regimes of weak and strong dephasing quantum master equations are developed, and their respective scaling relations imply the existence of a maximum in the diffusion constant as a function of the dephasing rate that is confirmed numerically. In the weak dephasing regime, it is demonstrated that the diffusion constant is proportional to the square of the localization length which leads to a significant enhancement of the transport rate over the classical prediction. Finally, the influence of noise and disorder on the absorption spectrum is presented and its relationship to the transport properties is discussed.read more

The Transient Localization Scenario for Charge Transport in Crystalline Organic Materials
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on a commonly studied model which describes the interaction of the charge carriers with inter-molecular vibrations, which leads to an original regime of transport called transient localization, sharing features of both localized and itinerant electron systems.

Persistent Electronic Coherence Despite Rapid Loss of Electron Nuclear Correlation
TL;DR: In this paper, the main factor determining the decoherence rates is the magnitude of the nuclear-induced fluctuation of the energy gap between the electronic states of interest, rather than the electron-nuclear correlation on its own.

TL;DR: The transport properties of disordered solids have been the subject of much work since at least the 1950s, but with a new burst of activity during the 1980s which has survived up to the present day as mentioned in this paper.
