Excitations in Organic Solids
Vladimir Agranovich
Abstract
This book details the studies of the properties of electronic and vibrational excitations in organic solids. It brings together most of the theory in this field together with many illustrations of experiments. There is a detailed treatment of many topics in uniform style, and the book also contains discussions of new phenomena. In different chapters, the theory of the Frenkel excitons, charge transfer excitons and polaritons, and their contribution to the optical properties of organic solids (bulk, superlattices, surfaces, nanostructures) will be found. The surface electronic excitations, opti ... More
This book details the studies of the properties of electronic and vibrational excitations in organic solids. It brings together most of the theory in this field together with many illustrations of experiments. There is a detailed treatment of many topics in uniform style, and the book also contains discussions of new phenomena. In different chapters, the theory of the Frenkel excitons, charge transfer excitons and polaritons, and their contribution to the optical properties of organic solids (bulk, superlattices, surfaces, nanostructures) will be found. The surface electronic excitations, optical biphonons, and Fermiresonance by polaritons are also discussed. The book presents the theory of hybrid Frenkel-Wannier-Mott excitons in nanostructures, the theory of polaritons in organic microcavities including hybrid microcavities, the new concept for LED, the effects of mixing of Frenkel and charge-transfer excitons, and the theory of excitons, and polaritons in one- and two-dimensional crystals. There are plenty of references to current research and to important historical work.
