Spectroscopy of Molecular Excitons
TLDR
Molecular excitons may or may not play an important role in the newly discovered high-temperature superconductors They also may or might not play important roles in the nervous system as mentioned in this paper, but they certainly do play a role in organic conductors, in the characterization of polymers, and in the primary process of photosynthesis.Abstract:
Molecular excitons may or may not play an important role in the newly discovered high-temperature superconductors They also may or may not play an important role in the nervous system They certainly do play an important role in organic conductors, in the characterization of polymers, and in the primary process of photosynthesis The discovery of molecular excitons, as well as their basic characterization, comes from work on molecular crystals, mainly from spectroscopic work Based on an earlier Russian version, this book is a beautiful exposition of more than two decades of work based, to an important extent, in the Soviet Union and in which the three authors played a major roleread more

The Structure and Dynamics of Molecular Excitons
TL;DR: This review categorizes the three different exciton types typically encountered in organic semiconductors (Frenkel singlet, Frenkel triplet, and charge transfer) and considers the problem of a localized exciton diffusing in a disordered matrix in detail.

Polarons, localization, and excitonic coherence in superradiance of biological antenna complexes
TL;DR: In this paper, a real-space formulation of time-resolved fluorescence of molecular aggregates is developed using the one-exciton density matrix ρ(t) of the optically driven system.
